LotteryMulti-State Tax Comparison
The same jackpot, every lottery state side by side. Our tax calculator estimates one state at a time — this shows all of them at once, sorted by who'd actually take home the most.
| Rank | State | State Tax Rate | Net Take-Home |

Lump sum here assumes the cash option is roughly 52% of the advertised jackpot, the same assumption used in our tax calculator. Federal tax uses a simplified flat 37% top-bracket approximation applied to the full amount — a real winner's actual federal liability depends on filing status and other income, and isn't precisely a flat rate. States with 0% show only the mandatory federal share. This isn't tax advice; consult a professional for a real prize. See how lottery winnings are taxed.
