Are W-2G Winnings from one State included by resident in another State?

NC resident received Form W-2G (Gambling from Mississippi.  State Tax withheld.  Is Mississippi Gambling winnings included in NC Return and because this is the only Mississippi income, no tax is due but is the tax withheld refundable?  Is the Mississippi W-2G Winnings to be included in NC State Income Tax return?

The resident state always wants it's residents to report all of their income earned, regardless of where they earned it.  On the bright side, most states will allow a credit for taxes paid to another state.

The problem I ran into was that there is no MS tax return to attach to WI as on OS. MS takes their tax money up front and you do not file a MS tax return if only income was from a W2G. Never thought about attaching a copy of the W2G with no return being filed. Wonder if that would have worked?
