One Michigan lottery ticket wins $842.4 million Powerball jackpotReply
The lottery in America is considered one of the most unfair lotteries. Firstly, there are high taxes, a 40% deduction from the prize for the 'Lamp Sum,' state taxes, and on the other hand, in many cases, lottery winners lack any contribution to the country's growth and development. If you look at the list of lottery winners, none of them are recognized as scientists, researchers, inventors, or entrepreneurs. Unfortunately, the lottery often favors those who shouldn't, and this is fundamentally u

North Carolina 18-year-old wins $1 million in lottery after asking sister to buy ticket for himReply
What does that last paragraph mean? You don't pay taxes on lottery wins of $600. AFTER $600 you do pay taxes. OTOH, though not sure where this going (with the mess of our so called leaders in DC) the casino lobbyists want to increase the taxable amount from $1200 to $5000 to, as they say, adjust for inflation. I have yet to find any lottery lobbyists out there, if they exist that is.

Illinois man celebrates Valentine's Day with $1 million lottery win three days after breakupReply
So HE wins a MILLION but only gets $600,000 before TAXES, I don't consider that A MILLION, I call that a JOKE. $300,000 after taxes is a tidy sum but it is NOT A MILLION but the State Lottery and the News will say he won a million but he didn't so everyone will believe he won a million. I think it sucks to win a big prize like that and then you have to choose either be tied to the tax man for 20 years or accept half as a consolation prize instead. The State of Illusions

Your tax guy does not sound like he is helping you. Put money into an IRA or roth IRA so you can keep more of your money. You can also pay estimated taxes online quarterly.

??? It is not double taxation. You report on your return the taxes that were withheld by the casino or lottery. The withholding was on your behalf.

All lottery winnings are taxable. If you win $300 a week every week, it is still taxable and reportable on your tax return. Lottery wins of $600 or more are reported to the IRS by the lottery. Just because an entity like a casino only withholds taxes over a certain amount of $, this has no bearing on the fact that all winnings are subject to taxation and reportable on your tax return.
