The IRS takes 30% from all non US citizens lottery winnings! A US citizen only has 25% taken, but remember the US citizen will have to pay up another 10% at tax time when they file

Check the Florida website, There was a guy from the Cayman Islands who won a 6 million dollar jackpot. Normally for non-U.S. citizens it's 30 percent of the jackpot or 1.8 million, if you take the cash option. That leaves you with 4.2 million, than take an additional 25% from that number and you end up with 3.05 million. (3,050,000.00) U.S. Dollars.
