New York Lottery Numbers Game Sets Record

New York Lottery Numbers Game Sets Record
Pays More Than $8.3 Million to Twenty-Five Thousand Players in One Day

Schenectady, NY New York Lottery Daily Numbers players had a major pay day last week winning more than $8.3 million playing the 4-4-4 and 1-2-3 number combinations on the Thursday, June 15th midday and evening drawings.


The amazing $8.3 million payout is a new record for the New York Lottery Daily Numbers game,” said New York Lottery Director Nancy A. Palumbo. “The popular number combinations of 4-4-4 and 1-2-3 were drawn during Numbers Bonus Week which means not only did New Yorkers win big, but they also took home a 600 to 1 payout. That represents an increase in prizes of over 20 percent.”
During the midday drawing last Thursday, 9,524 players who picked the 4-4-4 combination won $4,688,940 when their numbers came in. In the evening, 16,236 winners who played the numbers 1-2-3 walked away with $3,695,200. Number selections are usually capped when they reach a $5 million payout liability, but neither of these popular number combinations had been sold out for the day.
The $8.3 million payday last week beat the record set on August 26, 2002 when the midday 6-6-6 combination was drawn paying out $1.18 million and the evening 2-2-2 winning numbers paid out nearly $5 million, setting the former daily prize payout record at $6.18 million.
The Daily Numbers game was introduced to New Yorkers on September 8, 1980. During fiscal year 2005-2006, sales on the Daily Numbers game reached $827 million, generating $333 million for education. Since it was launched in 1980, the Daily Numbers game has generated more than $5.25 billion for primary and secondary education on sales of over $15 billion.
The New York Lottery the largest lottery in the country and the sixth largest in the world, has generated more than $29 billion in revenue to help support education in New York State, including a record $2.2 billion in fiscal year 2005-2006 on revenues of $6.8 billion.
