Lump sum: what an Oregon winner keeps
Take the cash option and you get the jackpot’s cash value — currently 41% of the advertised amount — in one payment. Federal tax takes 37%: the lottery withholds 24% when you claim, and the rest is due when you file. Oregon then takes its 9.9%.
| Lump sum | Amount |
|---|---|
| Cash value | $192,400,000 |
| Federal income tax (37%) | −$71,188,000 |
| Oregon state tax (9.9%) | −$19,047,600 |
| You keep | $102,164,400 |
Annuity: 30 payments over 29 years
The annuity pays the full advertised jackpot: one payment when you claim and 29 more once a year, each 5% bigger than the last. Each payment is taxed in the year you receive it, so an Oregon winner keeps about 53.1% of every check.

How Oregon taxes lottery winnings
Oregon taxes lottery winnings as ordinary income at up to 9.9%. On a jackpot-size prize nearly every dollar falls in the top bracket, so plan on the full 9.9% — about $9.9 million of every $100 million in cash value.
Oregon’s 9.9% is the 4th-highest state tax on lottery winnings among the 37 states and D.C. that tax them.
Oregon’s 9.9% top rate is one of the highest in the country, and residents of the Portland area owe additional local income taxes on top of it.
On the current jackpot, Oregon takes $19 million of the lump sum — money a winner in Texas or Florida, which don’t tax lottery prizes, would keep.
Oregon vs. neighboring states
What the current Powerball jackpot’s lump sum is worth after taxes in Oregon and next door. Buying a ticket across the state line doesn’t get you out of Oregon’s tax: you generally owe it as a resident, with a credit for tax paid to the state that sold the ticket.
| State | Tax on the win | Lump sum after taxes |
|---|---|---|
| Oregon | 9.9% | $102.2 million |
| California | 0% | $121.2 million |
| Idaho | 5.3% | $111 million |
| Nevada † | 0% | $121.2 million |
| Washington | 0% | $121.2 million |
† Doesn’t sell Powerball or Mega Millions; the rate is what a resident owes on a prize won elsewhere.
Powerball taxes in Oregon: common questions
How much would an Oregon winner keep from a Powerball jackpot?
About 53.1% of the cash value. Federal tax takes 37% and Oregon takes 9.9%, so an Oregon winner keeps about $53.1 million of every $100 million in cash. With the annuity, the same 53.1% applies to the full advertised jackpot, paid over 30 years.
Does Oregon tax lottery winnings?
Yes. Oregon taxes lottery winnings as income at up to 9.9%.
Should an Oregon winner take the lump sum or the annuity?
It depends on what you’d do with the money. The lump sum pays the cash value now — recently around 40–45% of the advertised jackpot — and you keep about 53.1% of it after taxes in Oregon. The annuity pays the whole advertised jackpot over 29 years in 30 payments, each 5% larger than the last, taxed as you receive them. Take the cash if you’d invest it at least as well as long-term Treasury bonds pay; take the annuity if you want protection from spending it too fast.
How much tax is withheld when you claim a Powerball prize in Oregon?
The lottery withholds 24% for federal tax on any prize over $5,000. A jackpot puts you in the 37% bracket, so you’ll owe roughly another 13% when you file. Oregon may also withhold state tax when you claim; any balance of its 9.9% is due with your state return.
When is the Powerball drawing, and how much is a ticket?
Powerball draws every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. Eastern. A ticket costs $2, and the odds of hitting the jackpot are 1 in 292,201,338.
