Same reason why if you win a lottery draft in another state you have to pay the taxes not in that state but your home state of residence...even though the money is coming to you from another state.

Actually nonresident income is a tricky subject, and you will likely wind up paying (and filing) state taxes for both states.

My father went to Florida and won a 50k lottery drawn. He didnt play a single dime in Florida but he had to pay the New York state tax quite a bit because that is where he lives.
