In response to "It doesn't matter. The tax is applied to each winner by the state, not by the state of the purchaser. -- nm" by spamlet

this is not true, for New York at least

Q:
I am a nonresident of New York State. I won a prize in the New York State Lottery. Is the prize
payment I received and any future installment payments (if the prize is payable in installments)
subject to New York State income tax?
A:
If you won the prize on or after October 1, 2000, and the proceeds exceed $5,000, your lottery
prize payment is New York source income and is subject to New York State income tax.
If the proceeds are $5,000 or less,
or
the prize was won before October 1, 2000, the prize
payment(s) is not considered New York source income and is not subject to New York income tax
