The cash amount is a lump sum amount that you will at the time of claim. This cash amount is going to be the full and final amount paid at once. This amount will be less than the actual Jackpot amount because of the tax deductions. Federal and State taxes might be deducted initially by the lottery and then the remaining amount you will get in your pocket. So your final payout will be something approximately 40% less.

You might need to pay some local taxes in your region if the government imposes those on you. It may be for some charity or donation. You can't deny paying this tax.

Conclusion of Analysis

This complete analysis gave you a rough idea about how much tax you might need to pay. I have fixed federal tax to 37% because the Jackpot amount is always more than $20 Million, and that's the percentage for that much money.

State taxes I have mentioned might be different in your state, so you need to verify it from your end.

All the tax amounts mentioned here are just a rough idea by taking the Jackpot amount is the only source of income. So the final amounts may be different from the amounts mentioned above.

Some states in the US may deduct some amount from your jackpot for child care, or to help some NGOs.

State taxes may frequently change by the state governments to manage the revenue and cash flow. At the time of writing, all the state tax percentages are correct, but It may change anytime, and this data might be outdated. But we try to keep it updated always.
