Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in Montana?

How much tax will I pay on lottery winnings in Montana?
Montana withholds 5.9% in state income tax from lottery prizes over $5,000. The federal government withholds 24% from prizes over $5,000. Withholding is only a prepayment: what you owe depends on your total income for the year, and most of a jackpot-sized prize is taxed at the top federal rate of 37%, so expect to owe more when you file. A tax professional can help you plan before you claim a large prize.
How long do I have to claim a lottery prize in Montana?
You have 6 months from the draw date to claim a draw-game prize in Montana, including Powerball and Mega Millions. Scratch-off tickets usually have their own deadline, often counted from the end of the game, so check the back of the ticket. Unclaimed prizes are forfeited. If you win a jackpot, ask the lottery how and when you choose between the cash option and the annuity, because the rules differ from state to state.
Where do Montana Lottery profits go?
Montana Lottery profits go mainly to the Montana General Fund, plus STEM scholarships. Prizes, retailer commissions and operating costs are paid first.
