About the New Mexico Lottery
The New Mexico Lottery was launched at the beginning of April 1995 when the governor of that time, Gary Johnson, signed SB 853 into state law.
The first lottery tickets went on sale one year later and by the end of its first fiscal year, the lottery hit sales of more than $28 million, generating over $6 million in profits. The Lottery added Powerball to its offerings in 1996, while the state's Roadrunner Cash lottery's first draw took place in February 1998.
The state then joined Mega Millions in 2010 and in 2017, Lotto America was launched in New Mexico. All proceeds from the New Mexico Lottery go toward education in the state.
