ALBUQUERQUE – The New Mexico Lottery is giving away Mega Millions tickets to its players.
Today through Nov. 22, Mega Millions players will get one free quick-pick ticket for buying a $5 Mega Millions wager. The $5 purchase can include any combination of plays such as multiple wagers for the same drawing, wagers for future drawings or the Megaplier feature to multiply non-jackpot prizes as long everything is printed on the same ticket.
When the qualifying purchase is made, the free quick-pick ticket will print automatically from the store terminal.
Mega Millions is a drawing game played by 45 lotteries in the United States, the District of Columbia and the U. S. Virgin Islands. The New Mexico Lottery joined the game in January 2010.
