Powerball Taxes by State

All Powerball prizes are subject to federal withholding tax, which is deducted before the prize is paid.

The exact rate depends on the prize amount and the winner's total annual income.

Some states tax lottery winnings at their standard income tax rate, while others do not tax them at all.

If you purchase a ticket in a different state, the rules of that state may apply. Always verify with local tax guidance.

Federal withholding is typically around 24% for U.S. citizens, but the final tax liability may be higher.

State tax rates vary widely, from 0% in some states to over 8% in others. Non-resident aliens may face different rates.

Tax laws change over time and vary by jurisdiction. This guide is for general information only.
