How the Lottery Tax Calculator Works
The calculator applies the current federal withholding rate (24% upfront for prizes over $5,000) to your gross prize, then adds your state's effective lottery tax rate. For annuity, taxes are applied annually across 30 payments over 29 years. For lump sum, calculations use the cash value (approximately 55-60% of the advertised jackpot, depending on the jackpot size). Federal rates are sourced from IRS Topic No. 419.
Which States Have No Lottery Tax?
Nine states do not tax lottery winnings: California, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Residents of these states owe only federal income tax. Use our lottery calculator by state to compare take-home amounts across all 50 states.
How to Find the Best Scratch-Off Ticket
The best scratch-off tickets are not always the newest ones. Our rankings analyze each ticket's remaining prizes — once top prizes are claimed, the odds of winning big drop significantly. We rank every active ticket in your state by overall odds of winning any prize, the percentage of top prizes still available, and expected value per dollar spent.

What is a lottery tax calculator?
A lottery tax calculator estimates your net winnings after federal and state taxes. Enter your gross prize, choose lump sum or annuity, and it applies current IRS withholding rates plus your state's tax rate to show your actual take-home amount.
Which scratch-off ticket has the best odds?
Higher-priced scratch-offs ($10–$30) generally offer better overall odds than $1–$2 tickets. Our scratch-off rankings show every active ticket by state sorted by odds and remaining prizes, updated daily from official lottery data.
What are the odds of winning Powerball?
The Powerball jackpot odds are 1 in 292,201,338. Overall odds of winning any prize are approximately 1 in 24.87. Drawings are every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET.
Is lump sum or annuity better for lottery winnings?
Lump sum pays roughly 55-60% of the jackpot immediately (the cash value varies by jackpot size and interest rates); annuity pays the full amount over 29 years in 30 graduated payments. Lump sum is usually better if you invest wisely, but annuity spreads tax liability across lower annual brackets. Use our calculator to compare both after taxes.
Which states have no lottery tax?
Nine states have 0% state lottery tax: California, Delaware, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Residents of these states owe only federal taxes on lottery prizes.
