What are the best New York scratch-offs to buy right now?

Our three top-graded New York scratch-offs today are VIP MILLIONS ($30), X SERIES: 200X ($30) and $300,000,000 CASH PAYOUT ($20). Each still has at least one top prize left. Even these pay back less than they cost on average. Rankings change daily as prizes are claimed.

Which New York scratch-off is most likely to win?

The New York game with the best odds of winning any prize is $300,000,000 CASH PAYOUT ($20) at 1 in 3.55. It still has 1 top prize of $5,000,000 left. Most of those wins are small, often just your ticket price back, so good odds are not the same as a good buy.

What's the best New York scratch-off at each price?

Our top-graded pick at each price today: $1: 7-11-21 TRIPLER; $2: WIN FOR LIFE (#1624); $3: LUCKY LINES; $5: POT OF GOLD; $10: $5,000 HOLIDAY FRENZY/$5,000 GOLD; $20: $300,000,000 CASH PAYOUT; $30: VIP MILLIONS. The price filter on this page ranks every game at each price.

Which New York scratch-offs should I avoid?

Federal tax of 24% is withheld on prizes over $5,000, and New York taxes lottery winnings as income at up to 10.9% (more on taxes on scratch-off winnings).

How long do I have to claim a New York scratch-off?

You have 365 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game, not from the day you bought the ticket. Check a game's end date before you buy, especially if it is ending soon. Our guide to whether scratch-off tickets expire lists every state's deadline.

Can I buy New York scratch-offs online or with a card?

Scratch-offs are not sold online in New York, so you have to buy them in a store. More in our guides to buying scratch-offs online and with a debit card.

Do more expensive New York scratch-offs have better odds?

Usually, yes. The typical (median) game at each price, with its odds of winning any prize and what it pays back per dollar: $1, 1 in 4.85 and about 63 cents; $2, 1 in 4.81 and about 63 cents; $3, 1 in 4.02 and about 63 cents; $5, 1 in 4.28 and about 65 cents; $10, 1 in 4.02 and about 64 cents; $20, 1 in 3.81 and about 68 cents; $30, 1 in 3.65 and about 72 cents. Payback tends to rise with price, but you still lose money on average at every price.

Are New York scratch-offs worth it, or do any pay back more than they cost?

Not as an investment. Right now 0 of the 104 New York games on sale are expected to pay back more than they cost. The best, $10,000,000 DELUXE ($30), still returns about 74 cents per dollar, and the typical game about 64 cents. A scratch-off that pays back more than it costs is rare and does not last long, so play for fun with money you can afford to lose. More on whether scratch-off tickets are worth it.

Should I buy New York games that are ending soon?

Sometimes, when good prizes are still left. The Ending Soon filter on this page lists the New York games ending within the next 90 days. Bear in mind that scratch-off tickets do expire: in New York you have 365 days from the date the lottery officially ends the game.
