In 1994, New Mexico voters passed a constitutional
amendment approving both lottery and video gambling. The states Supreme
Court struck down the amendment because it combined ballot questions, but after
legislative changes, a lottery bill was passed in April 1995. Ticket sales
began April 27, 1996, with two scratch games, the $1 Match 3 and the $2 Big
Fun, Big Help. During the first eight days of operation, some 8.3 million
tickets were sold, generating $10.6 million in sales. Less than three months
later, the New Mexico Lottery repaid in full the $2.8 million in Lottery
Revenue Bonds used for the startup. The Lotterys first draw game was
Powerball, which debuted in October 1996. Another MUSL game, Daily Millions,
joined the lineup in February 1997. A year later, Roadrunner Cash became the
first game sold exclusively in New Mexico. Current draw games offered by
the New Mexico Lottery include Powerball, Mega Millions, Roadrunner Cash, Hot
Lotto and Pick 3. Also available are Quicksters, instant games that are played
through retail terminals. In January 2011, the Lottery had some fun with
its Lucky Dog Photo Contest, the first time a scratch ticket was inspired by
players. Dog owners could submit photos through the Lotterys website,
where players voted for their favorites. Six of the top 25 vote-getters
where chosen to adorn the games tickets. In the beginning, Lottery
proceeds were divided between the Public School Capital Outlay Fund (60
percent) and the Lottery Tuition Fund (40 percent). Legislation in 2000 changed
the split to 50/50, and beginning June 15, 2001, the Tuition Fund was given 100
percent of Lottery profits. Legislative Lottery Scholarships help provide
tuition to New Mexico residents who want to attend a New Mexico public college
or university.
