If the proposed federal tax rate hikes are approved by congress, New York City (Yonkers) residents would have around a 58% total tax liability on a multi-million lottery jackpot . . 45% + state tax amount for everyone else.

Approximate percentages:

39.60 proposed 2010 top federal tax rate

5.40 proposed federal health care surcharge

8.97 NY state

3.65 NY City

.90 Yonkers
