Today TaxMama hears from Tom in Arizona who asks “If I win the lottery, to how many people can I give a one-time, $1 million lifetime exclusion?”
Hi Tom,
Naturally, you can start with me!
Seriously though. You have ONE lifetime exclusion from gift taxes worth $1,000,000. Period. It’s not one per person to whom you give a gift.

If you’re married, your wife has one also.

As a couple that gives you a total of $2,000,000.
It’s not actually an exclusion.

It’s a credit against the total gift tax. Read more in IRS Publication 950, Chapter Two – Gift Taxes
https://www.irs.gov/publications/p950/index.html
From then on, anytime you give anyone gifts or money of $12,000 or more (adjusted for inflation), YOU will have to pay gift taxes on your gifts.
Of course, if you do some planning before cashing in the ticket and notifying authorities, there are ways to get around this.
