How old do you have to be to play the lottery in West Virginia?
You must be at least 18 years old to buy a lottery ticket in West Virginia, and retailers may ask for ID.
Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in West Virginia?
Not guaranteed. We could not confirm a West Virginia 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 West Virginia?
West Virginia withholds 4.58% in state income tax from lottery prizes over $5,000. 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.
How long do I have to claim a lottery prize in West Virginia?
You have 180 days from the draw date to claim a draw-game prize in West Virginia, 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.
Where do West Virginia Lottery profits go?
We could not confirm the current breakdown from an official West Virginia source. State law decides how lottery profits are divided among state programs; the West Virginia Lottery publishes the current figures.
