Wednesday night's Powerball jackpot went unclaimed. It will grow to about $521 million for Saturday's drawing.
If you win a jackpot, the federal government takes a 24 percent cut of any prize worth $5,000 or more. Most jackpot winners take the lump sum — and they immediately see fewer dollars flow into their bank accounts when the prize is paid out.
If the prize were paid out in an annuity spread over decades, the IRS would claim 24 percent before the payments went out.
In either case, whether a cash payout or annuity, a jackpot winner would jump into the highest income tax bracket, and would pay the top federal rate of 37 percent.
California is one of just eight states that do not tax lottery winnings. The others are Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
