Was that amount from one single win or multiple wins?
Most Casinos automatically take the tax out of the winnings after a certain dollar amount, smaller wins they ask you if you want the taxes taken out now or if you want a W-2G tax form and pay the taxes later, but bigger wins they take now you have no choice, well at least at the Casino's around here. I know someone who hit for a little over 52K, the table got shut down, videos reviewed, everything double and triple checked, how do you want paid cash,check, etc. When you are ready to leave the Casino get a hold of security they will escort you to your car and follow off the casino property, on you way home if you notice someone following you make a couple turns, if still following you call 911 or go to the closest police station.
The took the taxes out before she got her pay out.
