QuestionReply

The secret to winning lottery with Scratch off'sReply
It wasn't that simple, but yes it has something to do with it. When you are buying tickets from a 30 or 50 dollar game the payout percentage is rather high per roll. A couple in our state have been up to 78%, but on average as high as 68% and 70% per roll. Say you are getting 250k to 500k a year for 20 years in gambling income. Gambling winnings is one of the few things that you can write off to the amount you win per year. Say you are being taxed at the highest tax bracket 39%. She can essentia

This sums it up. If you itemize your deductions (i.e., use Schedule A), you can deduct gambling losses up to the amount of your gambling winnings to remove the potential tax bite.

I am very sorry to hear this. Gambling addiction is a painful thing. You should call the gambling hotline if you have not already. They are there to help more than we can here.. take care and hope to hear things improve.

Congrats on the win. Looks like you are on a roll. The lotto district office is going to issue you a W-2G for your $1K win. If you itemize your deductions, you will be able to deduct gambling/lotto ticket losses up to the amount of your reported gambling/lotto winnings. Otherwise, you will have to pay taxes on the winnings when you file your tax return.
