New York LOTTO: Live Results, Bonus Ball Rules, Historic Jackpots & Player Guide
Welcome to the official live results portal and comprehensive player guide for New York LOTTO, the Empire State’s flagship in-house multimillion-dollar rolling jackpot game. Launched in November 1978, New York LOTTO has stood for over four decades as one of the most beloved and celebrated traditional state lotto games in American history. Drawings are held twice weekly on Wednesday and Saturday nights at 8:15 PM Eastern Time (ET). Ticket sales close promptly at 8:00 PM ET on drawing nights across more than 14,000 authorized New York Lottery retail locations and state-licensed mobile courier apps.
New York LOTTO features one of the most player-friendly pricing formats in North America: $1.00 buys 2 game panels (two separate sets of 6 numbers)! Players select 6 numbers from a pool of 1 to 59 for each game panel. In each drawing, 6 winning numbers are drawn from the machine, followed immediately by a 7th Bonus Ball drawn from the remaining 53 balls. The Bonus Ball is used exclusively to determine the second-prize tier winner (players who match 5 of the 6 main numbers plus the Bonus Ball), boosting their payout to substantial cash sums. Jackpots start at a guaranteed $2,000,000 and roll over after every drawing until won.
New York LOTTO has crowned some of the biggest homegrown millionaires in New York history. In January 2007, Johnnie Ely, a retired cook from Queens, claimed a record-shattering $100 Million New York LOTTO jackpot after buying his winning ticket in Manhattan! Other iconic winners include the famous "Lucky 16" syndicate of co-workers who won a $65 Million jackpot in 1999, and Degli Martinez of Queens who won $65 Million in 2007. The odds of matching all 6 numbers to win the jackpot are 1 in 45,057,474 per $1 play (which includes two panels). The overall odds of winning any prize are approximately 1 in 92.
By constitutional mandate, 100% of net proceeds from New York LOTTO ticket sales are dedicated to the New York State Public Education Fund, directly supporting primary and secondary public school districts throughout the state. In New York, prizes over $5,000 are subject to 24% federal tax withholding and 8.82% New York State income tax, plus 3.876% New York City local tax for NYC residents. Winning tickets remain valid for claiming for one full year (365 days) from the drawing date.
