If you win the lottery, the federal government will take a 24 percent cut of any prize worth $5,000 or more. Most jackpot winners take the lump sum — and taxes are withheld before the winning dollars flow into their bank accounts.
If the prize were paid out in an annuity spread over decades, the IRS would claim 24 percent before each payment goes out.
California is one of just eight states that do not tax lottery winnings. The others are Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
