Mega Millions jackpot reaches $977 million, but state taxes could significantly impact take-home amount
The Mega Millions jackpot has reached a staggering $977 million, but the amount you would take home varies significantly based on the state where the ticket was purchased, due to state taxes. Federal taxes remain consistent at 24%, but the total tax bill is expected to reach 37% when filing. State taxes on lottery winnings differ widely, with eight states not imposing taxes at all. Location of ticket purchase also plays a significant role, as buying a winning ticket outside of one’s home state could trigger taxes in the state of purchase. Seeking assistance from a tax professional is advisable for potential jackpot winners to navigate the tax implications and determine the best payout option.
