NEW MEXICO LOTTERY MAY OFFER ANOTHER MULTI-STATE JACKPOT GAME
October 15, 2009
ALBUQUERQUE – A recent industry decision may create an opportunity for the New Mexico Lottery to offer players another multi-state jackpot game similar to Powerball®.
Last week, the Multi-State Lottery Association, of which the New Mexico Lottery is a member, and the Mega Millions® Consortium agreed in principle to begin a process that could allow lotteries to sell both Powerball and Mega Millions as early as next year. Implementation issues still need to be resolved.
Today, lotteries can sell only one of those games. The New Mexico Lottery has offered Powerball since 1996. Five jackpots ranging between $32 million and $206.9 million have been won in the state.
“Work is underway to identify the resources needed to support Mega Millions in New Mexico,” said Lottery CEO Tom Romero. “The lottery’s mission is to maximize revenues for higher education so we must give this opportunity serious consideration.”
A decision to offer Mega Millions would require approval by the lottery’s board of directors.
