Our State tax rate changed for 2022 from 6.9% to 6.75%. This is what the lottery website shows:

• How much in taxes is withheld from each Lottery prize?

  We are required by law to withhold both state and federal taxes on certain levels of Lottery prizes.

  For U.S. citizens furnishing Social Security Numbers, we are required to withhold 6.9% for Montana state tax and 24% for federal tax from any prize greater than $5,000.

  However, there are other situations where the typical withholding requirements differ. Here's the law:

  We are always required to withhold 6.9% state tax on all prizes greater than $5,000.

  We are required to withhold 24% federal tax on any prize $600 and over for U.S. citizens who don't furnish Social Security Numbers or tax identification numbers.

  For non–residents of the U.S., we must withhold 30% federal tax on any prize $600 and over.

  At the end of the year, we mail each winner who has won $600 and over a W-2G form to use when filing his or her taxes.
