The $575 million Mega Millions jackpot is the 9th highest ever—here's how much you'd take home after taxes in every U.S. state.

Since the last Mega Millions winner in early June, the jackpot has grown to $575 million, making it the ninth largest ever ahead of Tuesday night's draw.

If you win the lottery, you won't take home the full amount if you match all five white balls and the gold Mega Ball, which has a 1 in 302,575,350 chance of happening.

The payout you choose and income taxes could potentially reduce the jackpot.

Your choice of payout could cut the prize money in half

You have the option to receive the full jackpot amount in an annuity payment over 30 years or take an upfront cash payment that is approximately half of the jackpot. Although the upfront cash payment is less money, it is more frequently chosen because it can be immediately reinvested.

Since your jackpot winnings are considered income, a 24% federal withholding is automatically deducted. However, due to your new tax bracket, you may pay up to 37% on most of your winnings when filing your 2024 tax return.

In addition to federal income taxes, U.S. states impose income taxes ranging from 2.5% to 10.9% on lottery winnings, reducing your take-home amount. Fortunately, eight states do not charge any income tax on lottery winnings: California, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming.
