How Indiana lottery winnings are taxed
Lottery prizes are taxable income. Every winner pays federal tax — the IRS withholds 24% up front, and the true rate climbs to 37% on large prizes. On top of that, Indiana taxes lottery winnings at up to 3.15%. Taking the prize as a lump sum is taxed all in one year (pushing more into the top bracket); a 30-year annuity spreads the income out.
