New York Lotto Number Generator, Odds & Free Demo

What is New York Lotto?

New York Lotto is the classic state lotto of the New York Lottery, drawn on Wednesday and Saturday evenings. It uses a single drum of 59 balls: six winning numbers are drawn, followed by a bonus number that only matters for the second prize. Because the pool is large and there is no separate bonus field, the jackpot odds are almost identical to the UK Lotto, which uses the same 6/59 matrix. Proceeds from the New York Lottery support education in the state, and Lotto remains one of its longest-running draw games.

How New York Lotto works

1. Pick six different numbers from 1–59 – your own favourites or a random Quick Pick.
2. Check your line once the numbers are drawn – only which numbers match counts, not their order.
3. The top prize needs all six main numbers; smaller combinations win lower prizes set by the operator.

Your chances in New York Lotto

The draw can produce 45,057,474 different results, which means the jackpot odds for one line are 1 in 45,057,474. Lower down the table the picture changes quickly: a result of five main numbers turns up about once in 141,690 lines, and at least three correct main numbers about once in 92 lines.

In North America, SuperLotto Plus (1 in 41.4 million) has better odds and Lotto Max (1 in 99.9 million) is harder. Compared with US Powerball, the jackpot is about 6.5 times easier to hit. Among the 88 lotteries on this site, New York Lotto ranks number 73 for jackpot odds, where number 1 is the easiest.

Playing two lines in two draws every week – 208 lines a year – you would wait on average around 216,622 years for one jackpot, so the jackpot is something to dream about rather than plan for.

Using the New York Lotto tools on this page

For a quick pick, the generator above builds random New York Lotto lines – as many as ten at once – and checks that every number fits the 1–59 range. Next to it you will find the full odds table and a demo draw you can repeat as often as you like. In the demo you tap six numbers on a 59-ball board, or let Quick Pick do it.

The simulator goes further: ten years of two lines twice a week means 2,080 lines, and on average about 22 of them would match exactly three main numbers while the chance of a top prize in that time is only about 1 in 21,662. Remember that a random line has exactly the same chance as any other; its real advantage is that you are less likely to share a prize with players who pick birthdays.
