Resident out-of-state ticket guide
Hawaii Resident Powerball Tax Guide (2026)
Hawaii is not a regular Powerball ticket-selling state. This page is framed as a resident tax guide: if a Hawaii resident buys a ticket in a participating jurisdiction and wins, the claim is handled where the ticket was sold while resident-state tax, credits, and federal tax still need review.
Note: No state lottery; residents who buy out of state still owe HI tax
Can Hawaii residents buy Powerball in-state?
Hawaii is not a regular Powerball ticket-selling state, so this page should not be read as an in-state ticket calculator. It answers the resident scenario: what happens if a Hawaii resident buys a ticket in another jurisdiction and wins.
| Powerball sold in-state | No, this page is framed around resident out-of-state ticket scenarios. |
|---|---|
| Modeled resident rate | 11% |
| Resident buys out of state | Usually starts with the ticket jurisdiction’s claim, withholding, and nonresident filing rules, then resident-state tax or credits must be checked. |
| Moving before claiming | Do not assume moving avoids tax. Claim date, residency, ticket location, and state law can all affect the final filing position. |
