New York Lotto Prizes & Odds

Odds of winning any prize: 1 in 46.28 on a $1 ticket (1 in 92.05 a 50¢ play). The odds below are for each 50¢ play. In New York, every prize below the jackpot is pari-mutuel: that prize's winners split a share of the prize pool, so it pays a different amount every drawing.
