A Form W-2G is generated for all prizes of six hundred dollars ($600.00) and greater.

These withholdings are estimates only and do not necessarily satisfy a player's tax liability
Backup Withholding – Backup withholding refers to the process by which a person or entity making payments to you must, under certain conditions, withhold and pay a percentage of such payments to the IRS. Your prize may be subject to backup withholding if you do not provide your correct Social Security Number to us, you do not certify your Social Security Number when required, the IRS notifies the Rhode Island Lottery that you furnished an incorrect Social Security Number, the IRS notifies you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all of your interest and dividends on your tax return; or you do not certify to us that you are not subject to backup withholding.

If any such debts exist, the Rhode Island Lottery is legally required to offset your prize by the amount of the debt. If you believe that prize money was withheld for a debt that has already been paid, it is your responsibility to contact the appropriate agency reporting the debt and seek reimbursement. The Rhode Island Lottery is not liable for any damages or losses resulting from any offset from a prize for payment of a debt.
