Each state has their own laws,but here's how it generally works. Any state in which you earn income has the authority to assess income tax on those earnings, assuming the state has an income tax. If the income came from them, then they're the ones who get the income tax. Being a non-resident will be somewhat different than if you were a resident of that state, but you'll still owe them income tax.

Your state of residence also has the authority to assess income tax on all of your income regard... [ More ]

I'm not 100% sure, but if it works like income tax you might pay taxes in the state where you claim the ticket, and then come tax time you would be getting most (if not all) back from that state, but you would owe your home state. That's how it works for me (I live in one state and work in another)..

Does anyone know if you live in GA and were to win the powerball in TN or SC, do you pay the state tax of the state you played in or the state you live in......or do you have to pay both? Reason I ask, I travel for work to both states, live in GA, and can buy tickets in either place. SC has a 7% state tax, while TN has none? Cash value at this point would be 75M in TN, and 68 M in SC, a significant difference. Also, if you were to win in TN, could you personally move your residence to TN before
