New Mexico Lottery
Switches to Paperless Statements
ALBUQUERQUE – The New Mexico Lottery now uses
email to send weekly billing statements to lottery retailers, discontinuing paper
statements. Electronic billing will save the lottery an estimated $23,000 a year
in postage, stationery and personnel expenses. Retailers will receive information
faster in a format that can be exported easily and more accurately into electronic
accounting systems and business records. The lottery’s move to electronic billing
comes two weeks before U.S. postage rates increase to 42 cents for first-class mail.
