Illinois Win $500 / $100 A week for Life

Illibnois has a $1 Win $500 A Week for Life and $2 Win $1,000 A Week for Life scratcher.

I'm just wondering how the taxes would work for anyone who won that.

Taken out every week?

Taken out at the end of the year when filing?

Anyone know?

Im pretty sure they either pay annualy or monthly and the taxes are automatically deducted.

Thanks.

I just spotted the typo in the title, it should be $500 / $1000 a week.

On the website there's a $2500 a week ticket, too, for $5 but we haven't seen those down here yet (I'm far south of Chicago).

Also, the promo says, "The longer you live the more you'll get".  I'm thinking that's just hype as such things usually go into someone's estate, but knowing our present governor.......

wow..."The longer you live, the more you'll get"

Coin Toss, did you see anything in the game rules that states the payments cease when the winner does?

I don't what the tax deductions are them or how they do that... But I can tell you that all 3 of them tickets have a cash option on them that you can take rather than $ 500 a week, 1000 a week or 2500 a week for life. The only one I know for sure is on the $1,000 a week for life and that is $762,000 you can take.....

I have seen the $2500 A week ticket and I am way south of chicago

I wish Oklahoma had scratchers like this.......nice games Illinois
