Common mistakes to avoid when playing lottery games

When playing the lottery, it is crucial to avoid certain mistakes that affect your chances of winning.

For example, one of the most common mistakes is choosing numbers based on birthdays or anniversaries. This limits the selection of numbers to only those between 1 and 31, so many others are discarded and ignored and could potentially be winners.

Another common mistake is not checking the lottery results. Certain minor prizes that could have been won may slip through the cracks. Likewise, it is important to check lottery tickets carefully, as there have been cases of players discarding winning tickets by mistake.

Finally, you should avoid relying solely on luck. Although the lottery is a game of chance, there are certain rules and guidelines as we mentioned above that can increase the chances of winning.

How to claim your New York lottery prizes

If you are a winner, claiming your New York lottery prize is a quick and simple process, but certain steps must be followed to ensure full payment without incident.

Prizes up to $600 can be claimed directly at any authorized New York Lottery location. For larger prizes, a claim form must first be completed and accompanied by the winning ticket at the New York Lottery headquarters in Schenectady or any New York Lottery regional branch.

It is important to note that lottery winnings are subject to federal and state taxes, so be prepared to pay a portion of your winnings in taxes.
