The New York Lottery continues to be North America's largest and most profitable Lottery, contributing over $3 billion in fiscal year 2010-2011 to help support education in New York State, according to lottery officials. The Lottery's aid represents over 15 percent of total state education funding to local school districts.

Lottery revenue is distributed to local school districts by the same statutory formula used to distribute other state aid to education. It takes into account both a school district's size and its income level; larger, lower-income school districts receive proportionately larger shares of Lottery school funding.

Lottery prizes valued at $601 to $999,999 must be claimed at the Lottery's seven stand-alone Customer Service Centers in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, Schenectady, Fishkill, Manhattan and Garden City, or any of the Lottery's eight gaming facilities including Saratoga Casino & Raceway, Monticello Casino & Raceway, Tioga Downs Casino, Batavia Downs Casino, Empire City Casino at Yonkers Raceway, Hamburg Casino at the Fairgrounds, Finger Lakes Casino & Racetrack and Vernon Downs Casino & Hotel.

Prizes of $1,000,000 or more must be claimed at one of the Lottery's seven stand-alone offices listed above.
