The New York Lottery a Brief
History
Lotteries were used in New York not just for educational needs, before the 20th
century the proceeds helped part build the New York City Hall. Also other
lotteries played a major role in building the canals and their repair, bridges,
roads, ferries. A lot of money was used from lotteries to develop many of New
York cities manufacturing industries, even churches were repaired and built
using lottery cash.
The New York Lottery was voted and approved in a constitutional amendment on the
8th of November 1966 to be state run and a good portion of the proceeds of any
lottery should go towards education. Since 1967 the New York Lottery has amassed
well over $34 billion going towards education in New York.
According to the educational law for the New York State Lottery the
Division Director has the up most authority for all administration of this
lottery.
Around the mid 1970’s because of a scandal all sales were stopped for a period
of about nine months.
Players must be at the age of 18. and remember 21 where alcohol is served.
There have been some talks going on between the mega millions and Powerball
lotteries so that all US lotteries including the New York Lottery, that may make
it possible to sell tickets for both games. The earliest date considered would
be the 1st of October 2009. It is not yet clear whether players in New York who
opt for the Powerball will be able to choose after winning to be paid in cash or
annually as at this time is not allowed under the current New York Lottery
regulations.
Some may see this as unfortunate but when anyone wins the New York State Lottery
prize fund, the winnings are liable to be taxed by state income and Federal
income taxes. Added to this if players are residents of New York City or Yonkers
residents they will also be required to pay the local income taxes.
Although the New York Lottery is considered to have the highest sales of all US
lottery games it is quite often criticized for giving out low payout percents
while neighbouring states more often than not will offer players a much better
return.
