Does Oregon tax lottery winnings?
Yes. Oregon taxes lottery prizes as ordinary income, at rates up to 9.9% in 2026. Oregon withholds 8% for state tax on prizes of $1,500 or more when the prize is paid. Withholding is a prepayment: most of a large prize is taxed at the top rate of 9.9%, so expect to pay the difference when you file.
