thanks Preppy. By any chance do you have any reference about PA not charging taxes to non residents? PA lotter site does say that there is no tax for residents but it does not say anything about non residents.

Rlevins, Let me make sure I understand your question. Rlevins, you are a New Jersey state resident. New Jersey state residents and non-residents do not have to pay taxes on New Jersey Lottery winnings. You bought a lottery ticket in Pennsylvania that won. Pennsylvania state residents and non-residents do not have to pay taxes on Pennsylvania Lottery winnings. Does a New Jersey state resident have to pay state taxes (New Jersey) on the out of state lottery winning (Pennsylvania Lottery winnings

The repetitive double negatives in your original statement were confusing. However, the answer is NO. Been asked at least three times, always results in the same answer. Neither state taxes gambling winnings.

On second thought, Let me answer for those who can find the answer. I do not know how these state/local taxes will work in case of winning out of state lottery, so I asked the question in forum and at the same time I sent an email to both NJ PA lottery for the answer (whatever they can say). I got the reply from NJ lottery and I posted here so that any one interested to know this (useful or not useful) will know this. I will post again when and if I get reply from PA lottery.Thanks
