New York Lotto prizes
To win the amazing jackpot in the New York lottery, you have to match the 6 main numbers and you do not need the Bonus number.
The bonus number helps you win the second prize.
The jackpot has a minimum amount of $2 million, but there is no maximum cap which means the jackpot can rise indefinitely.
This is how it already reached $65 million! Certainly, we cannot compare the prize with the record-breaking Powerball jackpot of $2.04 billion, but the odds make up for slightly smaller winnings.
The New York Lotto assigns you a Bonus number automatically that you do not choose. This Bonus number is drawn from the same pool of 1 to 59, but it does not affect the jackpot. It allows you to win the second prize. With this number, you can get the second prize by matching 5 main numbers and having the bonus number. With all this, you have a 1 in 46.02 chance of winning a prize when you play the New York Lotto. Discover what prizes you can win and your chances.
