NYS Lottery Retailers: Active Licensed Sales Locations

Active licensed retailers selling New York state lottery products are listed with business names and addresses. The dataset includes geospatial coordinates and indicates which locations offer the Quick Draw game. Columns suggest integration with New York state geographic boundaries and census data for potential spatial analysis.

Use Cases

• Mapping retailer density using Latitude, Longitude, and Georeference.
• Analyzing regional sales coverage using City, Zip, and Counties 2.
• Identifying Quick Draw game availability using the Quick Draw column.
• Cross-referencing with demographic data using NYS Statewide Boundary 2 and U.S. Census 2010 New York State Census Tracts 2.

Strengths

• Contains precise geospatial coordinates (Latitude, Longitude) for mapping.
• Includes a specific attribute (Quick Draw) indicating game availability.
• Cross-platform presence on Socrata and Data.gov suggests official maintenance.

Limitations

• Key metadata like row count, license, and author are missing or conflicting across sources.
• The dataset's freshness is unclear, with last update dates in 2026, which may indicate a placeholder or system error.
• Documentation on the meaning of columns with '2' suffixes (e.g., Counties 2) is not provided.
