Upon confirmation from the winners of their travel preference, Alchemy3 will book round-trip coach airfare for winner and guest and arrange airport ground transfers from destination airport to the hotel. If preferred, winners can opt for an alternative travel allowance and will receive $1,500 to arrange round-trip travel for themselves and their guest from any contiguous U.S. airport to Palm Springs International Airport. Winners who waive the travel allowance will receive the difference between the actual airfare cost and $1,500 in the form of a check at least 30 days prior to the event.

*The Texas Lottery will report a winner of a lottery prize to the IRS once the prize has been claimed, as required under federal law. For U.S. citizens, the federal government requires lottery winnings be reported to the IRS for tax purposes if an individual wins $600 or more and if the winnings are at least 300 times the amount of the per board wagers, or the winnings are subject to federal income tax withholding (winnings greater than $5,000).
The tax withholding rate is 24% for winnings, less the wager, that are greater than $5,000. Prize withholdings are calculated on the total amount of gross proceeds (the amount of winnings minus the amount wagered).
If you have questions regarding the tax consequences of winning any Texas Lottery® game, including a promotional second-chance drawing, we recommend that you consult with your own accountant or tax advisor. Once a claim is approved, the prize is considered to be claimed, and may not be changed or refused after that point, and tax responsibility will be borne by the prize winner.
For prizes with values less than $600 a claim form is not required and the value is not reported to the IRS for tax purposes. These prizes will be immediately fulfilled by the vendor upon receipt of the winners list from the Texas Lottery.
