I thought I read somewhere a couple of years ago the federal government also requires a gambling 'journal' showing what you bet/lost/won each day/event. Just found this from IRS To deduct your losses, you must keep an accurate diary or similar record of your gambling winnings and losses and be able to provide receipts, tickets, statements, or other records that show the amount of both your winnings and losses.

$900 MILLION: Powerball jackpot rises, but sales miss in last draw makes for small increaseReply
Inflation is bad. But what inflation doesn't stop is ppl HABITS N DREAMS.. Even when Alcohol was illegal PROHIBITION. The mafia n boot leggers made RECORD SELLS. Even when Marijuana was illegal again dealers was selling it . During the great depression, GAMBLING HOUSES, HORSE TRACKS, AND PROSTITUTION HOUSES NOT ONLY MADE MONEY. THEY WERE GETTING RICH. THATS WHY THE GOVERNMENT TOOK OVER THE LOTTERY IN THE FIRST PLACE... GAMBLING IS ECONOMY PROOF. IT WAS STARTED BY LIL SMALL TIME BLACK HUSTLERS in

Virginia Lottery retailers refuse to sell tickets to draw attention to skill games amendmentReply
No disagreement from me that the government needs to regulate all forms of gambling in the state. 35% seems monumentally excessive however. That's a case of trying to protect the lottery, rather than a logical fee. So I agree on the regulation, but I think the fee should be smaller. (Incidentally I think they take too large of a cut on the lottery too, so you can see where my mind is at on these things.)

No not necessarily, many players spend a lot more, for eg. $40 a day is $14K+ a year, so it is perfectly OK to claim $10K if all your winnings are $10K for the year. That is reasonable, but claiming $60K , if say $80K is won, $60K is about $170.00 a day is much heavier gambling, better have receipts for that scenario or the income to support......

What is the obsession with the taxes? Like the lottery guy Jim wrote, your individual tax situation determines how much of your winnings are going to be taxed, period. Those 1099G's are income, if you have any $600.00+ 1099G winnings you need to itemize and take deductions, you can deduct gambling loses up to the amount you won, ALWAYS KEEP YOUR LOSING TICKETS as proof for your deductions. If you win win $800 you will receive $800 from the retailer, then when tax time comes around you add it to

Australian lottery winner sues daughterReply
I agree. I bet the husband has failed businesses or a gambling problem or even drug issues. I think the father probably had a good reason and was perhaps trying to protect his daughter. Some people should not be given large amounts of money since it could destroy them.

Florida Scratch Offs - Post Pictures if posibleReply
A bit delayed in responding here, but I think you have to itemize now to claim gambling losses, so depending on the complexity of your non-Lotto tax profile that may be a factor too.
