1. Taxes in the country where the ticket was purchased, which is different for every lottery. All non-jackpot winnings are already pre-taxed and are paid out according to the games’ payout rules.
2. Taxes in the country you currently reside in. You are responsible for checking up on the current laws in your country and to comply with your country’s tax regulations. The site does not charge or withhold any taxes on your behalf. If you play on South Africa Lotto, you’ll receive the same as a South African citizen.
