That's pretty standard for gambling winnings in the US. It's a "luxury tax" at a very high rate.

It's not a luxury tax. It's treated as ordinary income, and it bumps him up to the highest tax bracket: 35%.
The state tax bracket (in Maryland) for him is 4.75%.
39.75% of 2.25 million is $894,375, which leaves him with $1,355,625.
