Kansas Powerball winner could help state's budget
A 1.3 billion Powerball jackpot could deliver about 40 million dollars in state taxes from a Kansas winner. If taken as a one time cash payout 806 million would be taxed 25 percent federal and 5 percent state leaving roughly 564 million. Annuity payments would withhold taxes yearly so the state would not gain a large one time windfall. This potential bonus could alter the upcoming legislative session and help cover the current shortfall beyond 10 million dollars.
