NY Lottery Promotions
The New York Lottery regularly runs special promotions, offering exciting deals and various ways to win prizes beyond the usual schedule of draw games. Find out more about NY Lottery promos.
Scratch-Off Games
While the NY Lottery's draw games follow a set timetable, scratch-offs give you a chance to win instantly. New games are launched all the time, with a wide variety of themes and prize points.
The overall odds of winning a prize on a scratch-off are usually far better than for a draw game, and it is still possible to win millions of dollars on many of them. There are usually multiple top prizes up for grabs.
Find out more about the current NY Lottery scratch-offs you can play, including the number of remaining prizes.
Collect 'N Win Second Chance
Whether you've played a scratch-off or got a ticket for a draw game, you can sometimes get a second chance to win even if you miss out at the first attempt.
With Collect 'N Win, all you need to do is keep hold of your losing tickets, set up an online account, then submit your entries into any of the ongoing promotions for an opportunity to win prizes.
Select whether you have a draw ticket or scratch ticket, then either manually enter the required ticket numbers or scan the barcode using your phone.
When you submit your tickets, you'll see a digital play card that will be completed as you submit your tickets - you'll see symbols appear such as the Statue of Liberty or the Empire State Building. Once you have collected enough symbols, you are eligible for a Second Chance draw.
There are usually a number of Second Chance draws a month. Each one has a number of guaranteed prizes, including cash awards that can be worth thousands of dollars.
Other Promotions
There are a host of other promotions to take part in through the New York Lottery, so keep your eyes out for upcoming events. One example is the First Powerball Millionaire of the Year promotion, which culminates every year with someone winning $1 million live on air during the Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve broadcast.
The millionaire could come from any of the participating states, but each location, including New York, runs its own local draw and awards its own prizes.
Another annual promo is the NASCAR Powerball Playoff, where you can possibly win a VIP trip to the NASCAR Championship weekend at Phoenix Raceway in Arizona. One lucky winner also receives $1 million.
