Both New Jersey and non-New Jersey winners are subject to the Federal Withholding tax of 25%. For information on how New Jersey State withholding taxes apply to winners who live outside New Jersey , please review these FAQs from the New Jersey State Division of Taxation. In addition, non-New Jersey residents may be subject to their own State’s taxes (for further information, please consult your State’s taxation offices).
