Prize counts as of August 25, 2026. Prizes can be claimed at any time—confirm with the New York Lottery before buying.
Expected return
Counting only prizes you have a realistic chance of hitting, this game returns about $1.10 per $2 ticket — 55% of what you pay. Like every scratch game, that is a loss on average.
A further $56,400 sits in 25 remaining prizes so rare that your chance of reaching one is about 1 in 44,300 per ticket — 4% of everything left in this game.
Based on roughly 1,107,495 tickets estimated to remain unsold. Scratch outcomes are fixed at printing; nothing here predicts an individual ticket.

These figures describe what is left in a print run. They cannot tell you whether any individual ticket wins, and no game here is a good financial decision.
