New York Lottery announces new draw times for NUMBERS, Win4, Take 5 & LOTTO

The New York Lottery on Thursday announced a new schedule for live drawings produced from its studios in Schenectady. Effective Nov. 2, the New York Lottery games with new draw times include New York’s Daily NUMBERS, Win4, Take 5 and LOTTO.

“We are always looking for ways to provide convenience and accessibility for our players,” Lottery Director Gweneth Dean said. “The new draw times will help our retailers and players alike by moving drawings into time slots that better align with their daily routines.”

The new schedule provides more time for players to purchase tickets for the popular Midday and Evening NUMBERS and Win4 drawings. The new timetable will also mean the Take 5 and LOTTO drawings will air during prime time.

The drawings will continue to be aired live on the Lottery’s network of official draw stations. A regional list of stations is available at https://nylottery.ny.gov/draw-games. The CASH4LIFE, Powerball and Mega Millions multi-state games, which originate from New Jersey, Florida and Georgia, respectively, will continue to air in New York on their usual night at the regular time.

The New York Lottery continues to be North America’s largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing $3.38 billion in fiscal year 2019-20 to help support education in this state.
