How Much Do You Win
40% of the sales for every draw would be allocated as prize money. First prize is the largest one accounting for 75% of the whole share. Second one would have a quota of 7.25% followed by a third prize of 5.5% of the allocated prize share. Fourth prize would obtain 6.25% while the final fifth one would have a quota of 6%.
- If your 6 numbers match the winning LOTTO numbers drawn, you would win or share the First Prize
- Matching 5 winning numbers plus the bonus would grant you the Second Prize*
- By matching 5 winning numbers you would be awarded the Third Prize
- Matching 4 winning numbers will bring you the Fourth Prize
- Match only 3 winning numbers and you will get the Fifth Prize
New York Lottery Prizes and Odds
If the jackpot is not won in any drawing, the First Prize Pool Money is carried forward and would be added to the next LOTTO Jackpot. If there are no second prize winners, the second prize pool money would also be carried forward and added to the second prize pool for the next draw.
The actual prize set at each level is determined by dividing the prize money available for the particular prize level by the number of winners at a particular prize level.
Payment options include receiving the prize in 26 graduated annual payments or a lump sum cash payment.
