Only a few states California, Florida, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming do not impose a state tax on lottery winnings. Keep in mind that although living in these states may allow you to shelter your winnings from state tax, federal withholding and taxes will still apply.
If you elected the cash option or if your prize is only offered in a single payment, your check should arrive approximately six to eight weeks from your claim date. If your prize is to be paid in installments, your first payment should be available within six to eight weeks from your claim date.
