The Land of Enchantment Lottery has launched a cookbook contest that gives New Mexican entrants an opportunity to win $1,000. The competition has been designed ready for a 2024 instant win game that will feature a celebrity chef. Anyone over the age of 18 can enter. Winning entries will win a prize and be featured in the Lottery Favorites Cookbook.

Three top entrants will win a $1,000 prize, and up to sixty entrants will receive prizes of $50 worth of lottery bucks and a lucky Lottery apron. Each of the winning recipes will be published in the Lottery Favorites Cookbook, which will be available to everyone as a free e-book.
