OVERVIEW

If you find yourself holding a lottery ticket that doesn’t bear the winning numbers of an epic Powerball drawing, take heart. Although the odds of winning a Powerball grand prize are only 1 in 292 million, they improve to 1 in less than 12 million for the smaller $1 million prize. Here's an idea of what you’ll owe the IRS in taxes if you should win. Choosing the lump sum payout vs the annuity option If you choose to take the lump sum payout, a $1.5 billion jackpot is really worth about $930 million. That’s because $930 million is the actual jackpot and the $1.5 billion is the calculated worth if you choose the annuity payment plan. The annuity option are annual payments typically stretched out over 29 years. When you choose this, you end up with more money over the long haul because the base amount—$930 million—accrues interest earned over an additional 29 years after the year in which you win. The money you haven't taken yet is invested for you. You must pay federal income tax if you win You'll fall into the highest tax bracket in the year you win if you take the jackpot in a lump sum. As of 2022, this means you'll likely owe the IRS at least 37% in taxes. If the bounty is spread out over 30 years, you may not be in the highest tax bracket each year, depending on the size of your prize and your other income. All winnings over $5,000 are subject to tax withholding by lottery agencies at the rate of 24%. This potentially leaves a gap between the mandatory amount of withholding and the total tax you'll ultimately owe, depending on your tax bracket. It works out something like this if you take the lump sum for the $930 million jackpot: $930 million, less 24% withheld = $232,200,000

Less an additional $111,900,000 (to meet 37% tax rate)

Total prize after federal income tax = $585,900,000

Gift and estate taxes As of 2022, the Internal Revenue Code allows you to give away—by gift and from your estate when you die—a total of $12.06 million over the course of your lifetime. You'll typically owe 40% in gift tax for any cash or property transfers you make over $12.06 million, as well as a 40% estate tax on the value of your remaining estate.
