What the table assumes
You live in the state and won there. States tax residents on winnings from anywhere; a state where you won as a non-resident may tax the prize too, and your home state then usually gives a credit for that tax.
California and Pennsylvania do not tax prizes of their own state lottery, but they tax casino and other gambling winnings. New York and Connecticut take back the benefit of their lower brackets at high incomes, so their tax on a large prize is somewhat higher than the brackets alone show. New York City and Yonkers add a local income tax that the table leaves out.
