If you are a New Yorker, you might be excited to know that, in September of 2009, New York Lottery is introducing its first new lotto game since it launched Mega Millions in 2002. The New game is called Sweet Million and it is being dubbed as the best chance to win a million dollars.

This sounds exciting, right? Definitely! That’s because, if you’re a New Yorker, you will now have much better odds of becoming a millionaire by playing the lotto.

Let’s take a look at the odds of winning the Sweet Million jackpot. The game is a 6/40 game. That means, to win, you must match 6-out-of-40 numbers. The odds of matching all six numbers are approximately 1-in-3.9-million. Compare that to Mega Millions, where the odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1-in-175-million. That means you are about 45 times more likely to win the jackpot on a single Sweet Million ticket than you are on a single Mega Millions ticket.

Judging from the name of the game, you could probably guess that the jackpot amount on Sweet Million is $1 million. But, there are other prizes to be won too. Matching 5-out-of-6 numbers would win you $500 and the odds of winning that are approximately 1-in-19,000. Matching 4-out-of-6 numbers wins you $40 and the odds of winning that are 1-in-456. Finally, matching 3-out-of-6 numbers wins you $3 and the odds of winning that are 1-in-32.07.

If you’re a New Yorker, look for this game at your local lottery retailer; it really is your best chance at winning a million dollars!
