Powerball in Texas
Texas residents can purchase Powerball tickets at licensed lottery retailers statewide. Powerball is a multi-state lottery operated by the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), with drawings every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM Eastern Time.
If you win the Powerball jackpot in Texas, 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.
Texas is one of the best states to win the lottery because it does not impose a state income tax on lottery winnings. Winners in Texas only owe federal income tax, which can reach 37% at the top bracket. This makes the Texas take-home significantly higher than states like New York (10.9% state tax) or Maryland (8.75%).
