Whether you’re playing the Mega Millions, the Powerball or the Vikinglotto, you might be interested in the taxes you’ll have to pay on your winnings. Check out this article to learn more.

Vikinglotto

Founded in 1993, VikingLotto is a multi-national lottery game that is played across nine European countries. The winner is guaranteed a million dollars. In addition to the jackpot, players can win second-tier prizes, as well.

To participate in VikingLotto, players must be at least 18 years old. In order to play, they must first set up an online account with a lottery operator. They must also deposit funds. Depending on the country, players may need to pay local taxes.

Powerball

Getting a Powerball in the lottery is not as easy as playing the lottery itself. But, there are ways to boost your odds.

You can buy Powerball lottery tickets at a participating retail store, online or over the telephone. You can even watch the Powerball drawing live. It takes place every Wednesday at 10:59pm.

There is a Powerball lottery game called Power Play (r), which offers the opportunity to increase your winnings by five or ten times the amount of the jackpot. If you decide to play this version of the game, you’ll pay a $3 play fee.

Mega Millions

Originally known as The Big Game, Mega Millions is an American multi-jurisdictional lottery game. As of January 30, 2020, the game is offered in 45 states. The game originated in Michigan and was designed by Michigan Lottery Commissioner Bill Martin. The name changed to Mega Millions in 2002.

The game is available in 45 states, the District of Columbia, and the United States Virgin Islands. Tickets cost $2. The Mega Millions lottery is drawn each week on Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. Eastern time, and is televised on WSB-TV Channel 2.

The Mega Millions jackpot is paid out as a nominal value of annual installments. The jackpot is divided between the U.S. lotteries and is advertised as the “nominal value” of the jackpot. The Mega Millions lottery does not take into account state and federal taxes on prize winnings. It is the responsibility of the lottery winner to claim the prize. The Mega Millions prize structure allocates 75 percent of the prize pool for the jackpot, and 20 percent for non-jackpot prizes.

Taxes on winnings

Those who win the lottery will likely be surprised to learn that they will have to pay taxes on their winnings. This is because lottery winnings are considered taxable income and are taxed like other ordinary income. Depending on the amount you win, you may have to pay federal or state income tax on your prize.

It’s also important to understand that the tax you pay on your lottery winnings may vary depending on where you live. This is because tax brackets are progressive, meaning that the higher you earn, the higher your tax rate.
