❓ California Lottery Winner Q&A

Q1: Should I take a lump sum or annuity?

California winners can choose a lump sum for immediate access or annuity payments for long-term income. Mintco advisors evaluate your goals, tax situation, and lifestyle to help you decide.

California lottery winnings are subject to federal taxes; the state does not tax lottery income. Spreading income through annuity payments can reduce your federal tax burden.
