If you win the Powerball jackpot in Tennessee, you have 60 days from the drawing date to choose between the lump-sum cash option and the annuity. The lump sum pays approximately 60% of the advertised jackpot immediately, while the annuity pays the full amount over 30 years in graduated payments.
Tennessee is one of the best states to win the lottery because it does not impose a state income tax on lottery winnings. Winners in Tennessee only owe federal income tax, which can reach 37% at the top bracket. This makes the Tennessee take-home significantly higher than states like New York (10.9% state tax) or Maryland (8.75%).
