Pick 10 is a daily game in New York which gives you the opportunity to win up to $500,000! There are various ways to win prizes, and you even get a payout for matching no numbers at all. Find out everything you need to know about NY Pick 10.

The overall odds of winning a prize are 1 in 17, and there are six fixed prize tiers available, based on how many numbers you match. Payouts start at $4 for not matching any numbers at all - that also has the best odds of 1 in 22. Then there are bigger prizes for matching six, seven, eight, nine or 10 numbers.
You will always receive the $500,000 jackpot for matching 10 numbers, even if there is more than one top prize winner. However, if there are over 10 jackpot-winning tickets in one draw, a $5 million prize pot is divided equally amongst all winners. The jackpot doesn’t roll over to the next game if it isn’t won in the current draw.
Here's a table showing the value of the six different Pick 10 prizes you can win, along with the odds for each one.

As the name of the game suggests, you have to pick 10 numbers, from a range of 1 to 80, to get started. You can choose them yourself or opt for a randomly-generated ‘Quick Pick’ selection. Alternatively, you could use statistics to get these numbers or use our generator to get a selection of random sets.
Now select how many draws you want to enter. The Multi-Draw area of your payslip allows you to enter the same set of numbers into as many as seven consecutive drawings.
Another option is to ‘Play It Again’, if you have an old ticket from within the last 30 days and would like to reuse the same selections.
Pick 10 in New York began in 1987 and has a draw every single night. It is similar to ‘Quick Draw’ in that 20 numbers between 1 and 80 are also drawn. However, Pick 10 is available wherever Lottery draw games are sold.
When the draw takes place, 20 numbers – not 10 – are selected at random from the field of 1 to 80. That means you only have to match half of them to win the top prize of $500,000. The draw time is 8:30 PM ET every day.
You must be your tickets by 8:00 PM ET, otherwise you will be entered into the following day’s draw.
Yes, you can enter your numbers into two, three, four, five, six or seven consecutive draws.
One Pick 10 play costs $1.
