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.

You can enter your favorite recipe, whether handed down from your great-great-grandmother or you concocted it today. The recipe categories include:

  • Appetizers
  • Breakfast
  • Lunch
  • Dinner
  • Sides
  • Desserts

On the entry form, you will be asked to describe what makes your recipe unique, list your ingredients, preparation instructions, and the number of servings the recipe provides. You also have the option of uploading up to three tantalizing photos of your dish.
