States without a lottery

Five states do not run any state lottery: Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, Utah. Residents in those states can still legally play multi-state games by purchasing tickets in a neighboring state that participates.

Notes: State tax rates shown are the withholding or top marginal rate applied to lottery winnings for state residents as of 2025. Federal withholding (24%) is applied on prizes over $5,000 regardless of state, and the actual federal tax bracket may be higher. Always verify current rules with the official state lottery before playing.
