NY Lotto delivered fresh results for Saturday, August 23, 2025. The winning numbers were 23, 36, 37, 42, 45, 48 with Bonus Ball 31, according to New York Lottery result trackers that mirror the official feed.
Multiple independent listings show the same draw, with the next estimated jackpot at about $2.9 million.
Quick recap: How NY Lotto works
NY Lotto is a twice-weekly draw game (Wednesday and Saturday). Players select six numbers from 1 to 59; a separate Bonus Ball is then drawn from the remaining pool. Matching all six main numbers wins the jackpot.
The Bonus Ball increases secondary payouts in the “Match 5 + Bonus” tier—so if you hit five of the six main numbers and that extra ball, you jump to the second-highest prize level.
Latest winning numbers — Saturday, Aug 23, 2025
- Main numbers: 23 • 36 • 37 • 42 • 45 • 48
- Bonus Ball: 31
- Result summary: Rollover (no jackpot winner reported); next estimated jackpot roughly $2.9 million on Wednesday, Aug 27, pending final postings.
Payout tiers and odds (overview)
Exact payouts vary with sales and rollovers, but NY Lotto’s prize ladder and odds traditionally look like this:
- Match 6: Jackpot (odds ~1 in 45,057,474).
- Match 5 + Bonus: Second prize (odds ~1 in 7,509,579).
- Match 5: Third prize.
- Match 4: Fourth prize.
- Match 3: Fifth prize.
Results pages often publish a prize breakdown later the same night or next morning—listing winners at each level and the per-winner prize after pari-mutuel splits. Independent result hubs have already posted the 8/23 breakdown (e.g., seven winners at Match 5 without Bonus).
Where to verify results (and why you should)
Many sites carry NY Lottery numbers; the most trustworthy destination remains the official New York Lottery site and app. Aggregators like NYLottery.org and Lottery.net mirror the draw quickly, but claims are ultimately validated by the state. Use two sources: an official page and an independent mirror.
How the Bonus Ball changes your outcome
The Bonus Ball only matters if you’ve already matched five of the six main numbers. In that case, the extra draw can propel you into the far more lucrative “5 + Bonus” tier. It does not help for 3- or 4-match tiers—those are calculated on the six main numbers alone.
Claiming a prize in New York: practical steps
- Secure the ticket. Sign the back (after taking high-resolution photos of both sides) and store it somewhere dry and safe.
- Check deadlines. New York typically has one-year claim windows for draw games; small retailers pay smaller prizes on-site, while larger wins require claim centers or mail-in procedures per the official site.
- Understand tax treatment. New York State and New York City (where applicable) may withhold on larger claims in addition to federal withholding. Build a tax plan with a CPA.
- Consider anonymity and trusts. New York has specific disclosure rules; consult a lottery-savvy attorney before doing press or public postings.
Why players choose NY Lotto (vs. multi-state games)
Compared to Powerball and Mega Millions, NY Lotto jackpots are smaller—but the odds of a top-tier win are also less astronomical. Some players like the rhythm of a state game with familiar draw days and a payout structure that rewards five-number hits more generously on rollover nights. If you pair NY Lotto with a multi-state ticket, stagger purchase times and budget so you’re not chasing every rollover.
Responsible play tips
- Budget first. Decide on a weekly or monthly lottery spend and treat it like a fixed entertainment cost.
- Play with a group. If you join an office pool, adopt a simple written agreement (how much, who pays, who holds tickets, how to claim) to prevent disputes later.
- Keep tickets organized. A photo album app (by draw date) prevents “lost ticket” regrets.

Bottom line
The ny lotto numbers for Aug 23, 2025 were 23, 36, 37, 42, 45, 48 with Bonus Ball 31. If you hit a prize—especially 5 + Bonus—move deliberately: secure the ticket, verify via the state site, and line up tax/legal advice before you claim. With the next draw just days away and an estimated jackpot near $2.9 million, a small routine (budget, verify, claim) is your best edge.
