Number Selection: Players choose 10 numbers from a range of 1 to 80.
Drawing Process: Each day, 20 numbers are drawn randomly from the same range.
Matching Numbers: To win, players must match as many of their chosen numbers with the drawn numbers. The more numbers matched, the higher the prize.
Prize Tiers: Pick 10 features multiple prize tiers, with rewards for matching as few as six numbers. The jackpot is awarded for matching all 10 numbers.
The allure of Pick 10 lies in its straightforward gameplay and the daily drawings, which provide frequent opportunities for players to win. It's an ideal game for those who enjoy the thrill of matching numbers and dreaming of a big win. As with all lottery games, it's important to play responsibly.
1. Choose Your Numbers: Pick ten numbers between 1 and 80. You can select these numbers manually or opt for a Quick Pick, where the numbers are randomly generated for you.
2. Order Your Ticket: Each game of Pick 10 costs $1. Ensure you're at least 18 years old to participate.
3. Check Your Numbers: After the draw, compare the ten numbers on your ticket with the twenty winning numbers drawn. Matching ten numbers wins you the jackpot, but there are prizes for matching fewer numbers.
The odds of winning the Pick 10 jackpot in New York's daily lottery game are lower than some other lottery games. To win the top prize, you need to match all ten of your chosen numbers with ten of the twenty winning numbers drawn.

There are 6 different prize tiers in the Pick 10 game, with specific prizes for each tier. If there is more than one winner for a particular prize tier, the prize is divided between the winners.
