Check with your tax preparer, but you will need to claim the money won as income on your tax return. If it is a substantial amount and will cause you to owe money in taxes you should make an estimated payment to avoid penalties.

Your gambling winnings will be added to your other income. It is impossible to to tell you the rate without knowing the amount of your other income (wages, interest, self employment, retirement, etc) and the amount of the gambling winning. If you have state income taxes, it would be taxable there as well.
