North Carolina 18-year-old wins $1 million in lottery after asking sister to buy ticket for himReply
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.

North Carolina 18-year-old wins $1 million in lottery after asking sister to buy ticket for himReply
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.

Virginia Lottery retailers escalate boycott, halt ALL lottery ticket sales until further noticeReply
I'm pretty sure that's how it's supposed to work, but some people have an advantage in life. Not everyone starts from ground zero. Ever heard of generational wealth being passed down or emigrating from a country and being handed funds to start businesses. No taxes Guess that never crossed your mind huh ?

One New Jersey ticket is sole winner of $1.13 billion Mega Millions jackpotReply
Congrats to the winner. Even though New Jersey has some of the highest state taxes, at least they've passed a law guaranteeing anonymity. I think at the end of the day, I'd be ok handing over an extra 1%-2% playing in a state that doesn't force me to jump through hoops to conceal my identity. And who knows, maybe the winners tax payment will go into filling a couple potholes in New Jersey.

Accusations of "disturbing" new claims procedures after Allwyn sends investigator to winner's homeReply
$4000/yr on State lotteries! Take that and instead invest in bitcoin in a Roth IRA account for the last 10 years. The amount in the retirement account would be greater than almost all jackpots. And taxes on gains would already be accounted for, so no tax bite of 40% to 50% like with a State lotto jackpot win.

Kentucky man out of debt for the first time in his life, thanks to $150,000 lottery winReply
QUESTION : Is the $42,000 that he paid off the top, the Federal and State INCOME TAX on $150,000 , or is it possibly his overdue property taxes , or is it the amount of mortgage he paid off ? I am asking b/c a $42,000 chunk out of $150,000 is a lot of money loss.

Illinois man celebrates Valentine's Day with $1 million lottery win three days after breakupReply
Yes, that 40% bite before taxes kick in would have me not purchasing this ticket anytime soon or ever actually. He should end up with closer to 400k though. He should have take the 20 yearly checks and netted 34,500.00 a year.

Father buys winning $1 million lottery ticket while wife waits in hospital with newbornReply
Oh and the best part about this story, unlike in the free and great USA, he's getting the exact amount. No taxes and no falsely advertised prize. What he won is what he gets, as it should be and is in pretty much every country on earth.
