NY Take 5 Lottery Game
NY Take 5 is a daily lottery game offering players the chance to win prizes worth tens of thousands every day. Two draws take place daily at 2:30pm and 10:30pm, and tickets must be purchased prior to these times in order to be eligible. As soon as each draw has taken place, results can be found here instantly – prizes depend on expected sales figures and odds – matching two numbers unlocks free Quick Pick entry; matching all five will result in you taking home top prize.
Take 5 is available through both regular tickets and the Jackpocket NY lottery app, which will automatically generate numbers for you. Each ticket costs $1 and allows you to choose your own numbers or use Quick Pick’s random option; multiple entries can also be selected using either “Play It Again” or “Multi Draw.” Its maximum prize pool of $3 million caps off this massive lottery, while overall odds of winning stand at 8.77-1.
Each draw, 50% of ticket revenue is set aside as prize money; with 20% going towards the jackpot and the rest to each prize tier. If there are no winners in one tier, that prize money is added back into the pool for future drawings.
Unclaimed prizes must be returned to the prize pool or used to subsidize other New York State lotteries; prizes over $5,000 are subject to federal, state and local taxes as applicable in New York City or Yonkers.
