History
New York Lottery is a state-operated lottery of the United States that began in 1967 with the slogan, “Your Chance Of A Lifetime To Help Education”. The Lottery, as part of the New York Gaming Commission, provides revenue for public education. Before the 20th century, the revenue generated by the lotteries in New York was used for non-educational needs. It helped in the infrastructural and industrial development of New York. It was on November 8, 1966, the people of New York voted to approve a constitutional amendment authorizing a government-run lottery. The proceeds of this government-run lottery would specifically be applied to aid and support education in New York. Since its establishment, the lottery has generated over $34 billion for aiding educational revenue.
New York Take 5 joined the club in 1992 as a Friday only game, originally called Take Five. The game gradually expanded to nightly draws beginning in 2001. The prizes for the game are based on the chances of winning for each prize tier and are pari-mutuel in nature.
