If your prediction matches perfectly, i.e. you correctly predict all 6 numbers drawn, you win a share of the Jackpot. Jackpots run from a few million to many tens of millions of dollars. The Jackpot is shared on a Pari-Mutuel basis. i.e all players who won share the Jackpot equally.
If no one is successful, the Jackpot is rolled over to the next drawing and added to that week's Jackpot amount. A Jackpot may roll over repeatedly through several weeks of play growing bigger and bigger. The bigger the Jackpot grows, the more media attention it draws, the more people play and the bigger the Jackpot becomes. Until someone, sometimes several people together, have tickets that match the winning numbers, exactly.
You may also win smaller prizes if your numbers match at least 3, 4, or 5 of the numbers drawn.
The lottery also picks an additional Bonus number. If you match 5 of the main numbers and the 6th number matches the bonus number, you win the 2nd Prize, which can be many tens of thousands of dollars (sometimes exceeding $100,000).
What it costs: In New York State, you are charged $1 for two 6 number predictions. So you have 2 chances of matching the 6 winning numbers for every dollar.
