The Lotto 47 jackpot and the Double Play top prize winners have a few options to consider when they win. They can choose to have their prize payout as a cash option or an annual payout for the next 30 years.
If the winner decides to select the cash option, they will receive their share of the prize in a large, lump-sum payment. This means that money is set aside already for someone that wins and wants to choose that option.
For an annuity, players can have the jackpot prize spread out over 30 years in a payout system. Each year the player will receive a portion of their winnings, and it gradually increases over time.
The Jackpot winners and the Double Play top prize winners only have 60 days total to change their mind from the date they claim their prize to the cash option. So it is important to make sure you understand how you can be paid and what works best for you.
For taxes, you are subject to your local state and federal tax withholdings. You will also receive a tax statement of Form W2-G.
