Georgia Lottery Overview

The Georgia Lottery, established in 1993, is a key funding source for public education in the state. It features popular multi-state games like Powerball and Mega Millions, alongside in-state draws such as Fantasy 5 and Jumbo Bucks Lotto, plus scratch-offs. Proceeds exclusively support the HOPE Scholarship, pre-K programs, and K-12 educational enhancements.

The Georgia Lottery directs all proceeds to education, primarily funding the HOPE Scholarship Program, which offers merit-based financial aid covering tuition for eligible Georgia students at state colleges and universities. It also supports the Georgia Pre-Kindergarten Program, providing quality early education to four-year-olds, as well as school technology upgrades, capital projects, and instructional materials for K-12 education. Since 1993, the lottery has contributed over $13 billion to these initiatives, benefiting millions of students.

Tax Planning

Georgia Lottery Tax Calculator

Calculate your Georgia lottery winnings after federal withholding (24%) and Georgia state tax (5.19%). See your exact take-home amount for both lump sum and annuity options.

Understanding Lottery Taxes

  • Federal Withholding: The IRS requires 24% federal tax withholding on lottery prizes over $5,000, though you may owe up to 37% depending on your total income.
  • Georgia State Tax: Georgia lottery winnings are subject to a 5.19% state tax rate, which is withheld along with federal taxes.
  • Lump Sum vs. Annuity: Choose between receiving your winnings as a one-time cash payment (typically 50-60% of jackpot) or annual payments over 20-30 years.
  • Tax Planning: Large lottery winnings can push you into higher tax brackets. Consult with a tax professional to minimize your tax liability.

Important: Tax rates vary by state and individual circumstances. Our calculator provides estimates based on current withholding rates, but you should consult with a qualified tax advisor for personalized advice on your lottery winnings.

Privacy Rules

Anonymity Rules in Georgia

Learn about your privacy options and legal requirements if you win the lottery in Georgia. Understand whether you can remain anonymous and what steps you can take to protect your identity.

Winners Must Be Publicly Identified

Georgia requires lottery winners to be publicly identified. Your name, city, and prize amount will typically be disclosed as part of public records.

Claiming Through a Trust or LLC

  • Georgia allows trust/LLC claims: Winners can claim prizes through a trust or LLC, which provides additional privacy protection. The entity name would be disclosed instead of your personal name.
  • Setting up a legal entity requires working with an attorney. Do this before claiming your prize, as you cannot change the claiming method after the fact.

Anonymity Rules in Detail

Under 2025 Georgia law, lottery winners cannot remain fully anonymous. The Georgia Lottery Corporation publicly discloses the winner's name, city, county, prize amount, and game for prizes claimed at headquarters, including all jackpots from games like Powerball and Mega Millions sold in Georgia. There is no prize threshold for exemption from disclosure. However, winners may claim through a trust or LLC, with only the entity's name released publicly, providing significant privacy protection as permitted by current regulations.

Privacy Protection Tips

  • Consult a Georgia attorney specializing in lottery law immediately to form an anonymous LLC or irrevocable trust before claiming.
  • Have the trust or LLC officially claim the prize at Georgia Lottery headquarters to keep your personal name private.
  • Sign the ticket in the name of the trust or LLC, not personally, and store it in a bank safe deposit box.
  • Limit knowledge of the win to essential professionals like lawyers and financial advisors bound by NDAs.
  • Use the entity's address or a P.O. box for all correspondence to avoid linking back to your residence.
