I am an 18 year old student. My aunt bought a winning ticked for the florida Play-4 lottery, $800.00. She asked me to use my information to cash in the ticket. When I did, i received a W2-G form, and it said total income $800.00 with no taxes taken out of it. How will this affect when I file for my regular income tax next month? Thank you in advance.

Ok, I just won $888 dollars on the New York lotto “Straight Eights” scratchoff game. I am wondering about how much to expect be taken out in taxes. Also, I am wondering if I’m better off giving them my social security # and claiming the taxes on income tax or just having them take the taxes out right there.

Would it be best to take a lump sum payment or take it over a long term for a lotto player that is in his 30s?
