New York Powerball: Live Results, Winning Numbers, Double Play & Player Guide

Welcome to the official winning numbers dashboard and comprehensive player guide for New York Powerball. The New York State Lottery officially joined the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) Powerball matrix in January 2010 under a historic cross-selling agreement that enabled New York players to participate in both national mega-jackpot games (Powerball and Mega Millions). Since its debut, Powerball has produced celebrated multi-millionaires across the Empire State—from Manhattan and Brooklyn to Long Island and Buffalo. Official live Powerball drawings are broadcast three nights a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 PM Eastern Time (ET), originating live from the Florida Lottery draw studio in Tallahassee. Ticket sales across New York's 14,000+ licensed retail terminals and state-approved digital lottery courier apps close promptly at 10:00 PM ET on drawing nights.

New York boasts an illustrious history of monumental Powerball jackpot winners. In October 2018, 67-year-old retired Manhattan postal worker Robert Bailey won a staggering $343.8 million Powerball jackpot (his half of a $687.8 million record prize), after faithfully playing the exact same set of numbers (8-12-13-19-27, Powerball 4) for over 25 consecutive years! Bailey purchased his historic ticket at the West Harlem Deli on West 145th Street in New York City. Another iconic Empire State winner is Nandlall Mangal of Staten Island, who claimed an immense $245.6 million Powerball jackpot in August 2018 on a Quick Pick ticket purchased while buying groceries at a Stop & Shop supermarket on Hylan Boulevard.

A standard New York Powerball play costs $2.00, where players select 5 white balls from 1 to 69 and 1 red Powerball from 1 to 26. For an additional $1.00 per play, players can add the Power Play multiplier, which multiplies non-jackpot secondary prizes by 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, or 10x (the 10x multiplier is active when the advertised jackpot is $150 million or less), while automatically doubling the second-tier Match 5 prize to a fixed $2,000,000 in cash. Furthermore, New York offers the premier Double Play feature for $1.00 extra. Double Play enters your identical 6 Powerball numbers into a separate second drawing held immediately following the main draw, giving players a second chance to win top cash prizes of up to $10,000,000!

Under New York State constitutional law, 100% of net lottery proceeds from Powerball ticket sales are dedicated to supporting New York Public K-12 Education (Foundation Aid), providing critical funding for classroom technology, textbooks, school lunch programs, and teacher salaries across all 62 counties. In New York, all lottery prizes over $5,000 are subject to mandatory tax withholdings, consisting of 24% federal income tax and 8.82% New York State income tax. For residents of New York City, an additional 3.876% municipal tax is withheld (or 1.477% for Yonkers residents). Under New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL), winner identities are public, but winners may claim through a Legal Trust or LLC with an appointed trustee. All winning Powerball tickets remain valid for redemption for one full year (365 days) from the drawing date.
