Jackpot winners choose between an annuity paid as one immediate payment followed by 29 annual payments that rise by 5% each year, or a smaller lump-sum cash option. For prizes over $5,000, federal tax withholding of 24% applies, and the final federal rate is often higher; state taxes vary, and a handful of states do not tax lottery winnings.

If you have a winning ticket, sign the back right away and check your state lottery’s rules: claim deadlines differ by state (commonly 180 days to a year), and many states require larger prizes to be claimed at a lottery office. Always verify results with your official state lottery before discarding a ticket.
