Below is a jackpot analysis for the current grand prize in Lotto America. The tax calculator allows you to easily see how much you would be due if you won. You can also view the Lotto America annuity payout table further down, which shows how much you would receive each year if you chose to take annual payments for 30 years rather than the cash lump sum.
The table to the right shows the annuity value and the cash value of the current jackpot. You can see how it is affected by tax and what it would ultimately be worth as a final payout. Select the state where you purchased your ticket and the rate of federal tax that would apply to you. This will be the top rate of 37 percent if you want to take the cash sum and have no major reductions to your taxable income.
We've detected you're in Ohio so we've automatically applied the applicable state tax in the table below. If desired, you can change this value using the drop-down box.

The Lotto America jackpot is always worth at least $2 million and you can choose to take this as a series of 30 annual payments rather than a lump sum, although most winners prefer the cash option.
The annuity calculator below shows you how much you would receive if you were the only winner of the current jackpot and opted for the annuity. The jackpot is split if there are multiple winners, but it can also grow way beyond $2 million. In April 2023, the grand prize reached $40.03 million before being won by player from Iowa.
