New York (NY) Lotto Results, Winning Numbers & Game Details

Playing New York Lotto is straightforward. You'll pick 6 numbers from 1 to 59, then add one Bonus Ball from 1 to 59. Can't decide? Go with Quick Pick and let the terminal choose random numbers for you. Drawings happen Wednesday and Saturday at 8:15 PM ET, and you win by matching numbers to the drawn results. The more you match, the bigger your prize. Match all 6 plus the Bonus Ball, and you've hit the jackpot.

Visit any authorized New York Lottery retailer, most convenience stores, gas stations, and grocery stores sell tickets. Tell the clerk you want Lotto, or use a self-service terminal if available. You can pick your own numbers or ask for Quick Pick. Tickets cost $1.00 per play, plus $1.00 if you add Multiplier to multiply non-jackpot prizes by up to 10x. Make sure to buy before the sales cutoff, which is 8:00 PM ET on drawing days. Always check your ticket before leaving the store.

A standard New York Lotto ticket costs $1.00 per play. Add Multiplier for an extra $1.00, bringing your total to $2.00 per play. Multiplier multiplies non-jackpot prizes by up to 10x. Want more chances? Buy multiple plays on one ticket. Most retailers accept cash and debit cards. The minimum purchase is one play.

Playing New York Lotto online through courier services works just like buying in person, but more convenient. Download the Jackpot.com app or visit their website. Select Lotto, choose your numbers (or Quick Pick), and set your wager. The service buys an official ticket from a New York retailer and scans it to your account. You'll get notifications when you win, and prizes under $600 are credited automatically. Bigger wins require an in-person claim.

Lotto drawings happen Wednesday and Saturday at 8:15 PM ET. That gives you 2 chances to win each week. Ticket sales close at 8:00 PM ET on drawing nights. If you buy a multi-draw ticket, it'll play the same numbers for consecutive drawings. You can purchase tickets for up to multiple future drawings at once. This is great if you've got lucky numbers you play consistently.

The odds of hitting the New York Lotto jackpot are 1:45,057,474. That's tough, sure, but you've got 5 ways to win. Matching 3 numbers offers much better odds at 1:96.

Multiplier is an optional add-on that costs an extra $1.00 per play. It multiplies your non-jackpot winnings by 2x to 10x. The multiplier number is drawn separately right after the main drawing. Here's the catch: it doesn't multiply the jackpot. But for lower prize tiers, Multiplier can significantly boost your winnings, potentially multiplying them by up to 10x. That's a significant boost. You decide whether to add Multiplier when buying your ticket. Can't add it later.

Lotto is exclusive to New York. You'll need to be physically present in New York to buy tickets, either at a retail location or through a licensed courier service while you're in-state.

This is a state-specific game with its own unique rules and prize structure. Other states have similar games but different names and formats. Browse all New York lottery games to see what's available.
