Common mistakes to avoid when playing lottery games
When playing the lottery, it is important to avoid certain mistakes that could reduce your chances of winning.
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 that could be potential winners are discarded and ignored.
Another common mistake is not checking lottery results. Smaller prizes that could have been won can go unnoticed. It is also 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, using strategies and making informed decisions can increase your chances of winning.
How to Claim Your New York Lottery Prizes

It is important to 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.
