Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in New York?
Not guaranteed. We could not confirm a New York law that keeps lottery winners' names private, so assume your name and hometown may be released. Ask the lottery how it handles winner information before you claim.
How much tax will I pay on lottery winnings in New York?
New York State withholds 10.9% from taxable prizes over $5,000. New York City residents also have 3.876% withheld, and Yonkers residents 1.82575%. The federal government withholds 24% from prizes over $5,000. Withholding is only a prepayment: what you owe depends on your total income for the year, and most of a jackpot-sized prize is taxed at the top federal rate of 37%, so expect to owe more when you file. A tax professional can help you plan before you claim a large prize.

You have 1 year from the draw date to claim a draw-game prize in New York, including Powerball and Mega Millions. Scratch-off tickets usually have their own deadline, often counted from the end of the game, so check the back of the ticket. Unclaimed prizes are forfeited. If you win a jackpot, ask the lottery how and when you choose between the cash option and the annuity, because the rules differ from state to state.
