Common mistakes to avoid when playing lottery games
When playing the lottery, it is important to avoid certain mistakes that can reduce your chances of winning.
One of the most common mistakes is selecting numbers based on birthdays or anniversaries. This results in limiting the number selection to only those between 1 and 31, meaning that many other potentially winning numbers are being ignored.
Another common mistake is not checking lottery results properly. Smaller prizes that could have been won can go unnoticed. Also, it is important to check lottery tickets carefully – it would not be the first time that some players have discarded winning tickets.
Finally, you should avoid relying solely on luck. Although the lottery is a game of chance, there are certain rules and guidelines as mentioned above that can increase your chances of winning.
How to Claim Your New York Lottery Prize Amount
If you are a winner, claiming your New York Lottery prize is a quick and easy process, but there are certain steps you must follow to ensure that you receive full and smooth payment.
Prizes up to $600 may be claimed directly at any authorized New York Lottery retailer. For larger prizes, a claim form must first be completed and the winning ticket presented at New York Lottery headquarters in Schenectady or at any New York Lottery regional branch.
Please note that lottery winnings are subject to federal and state taxes, so you should be prepared to pay a portion of your winnings in taxes.
