*The Texas Lottery® will report a winner of a lottery prize to the IRS once the prize has been claimed, as required under federal law. For U.S. citizens, the federal government requires lottery winnings be reported to the IRS for tax purposes if an individual wins six hundred dollars ($600) or more and if the winnings are at least three hundred (300) times the amount of the per board wagers, or the winnings are subject to federal income tax withholding (winnings greater than five thousand dollars ($5,000)).

The tax withholding rate is 24% for winnings, less the wager, that are greater than five thousand dollars ($5,000). Prize withholdings are calculated on the total amount of gross proceeds (the amount of winnings minus the amount wagered).

If you have questions regarding the tax consequences of winning any Texas Lottery game, including a promotional second-chance drawing, we recommend that you consult with your own accountant or tax advisor. Once a claim is approved, the prize is considered to be claimed, and may not be changed or refused after that point, and tax responsibility will be borne by the Trip Prize Winner.

For prizes with values less than six hundred dollars ($600) a claim form is not required and the value is not reported to the IRS for tax purposes. These prizes will be immediately fulfilled by the vendor upon receipt of the winners list from the Texas Lottery Commission.
