NY Numbers Odds and Prizes
Prize payouts work a bit differently in NY Numbers to most other games. The amount you can win is based on the play type you have selected and how much you have wagered.
The maximum prize possible is $500, if you play a $1 Straight or Combination and match the numbers in exact order.
Go to the How to Play page to find out more about each wager type and how to win with each one. Regardless of your play type, though, you have to match all the numbers you select.
The payout chart below shows the prize values for each play type, whether you pay $0.50 or $1. You can also see the odds of winning.
