ALBUQUERQUE – New Mexico Lottery players had much to be thankful for over the long holiday weekend.

In the past five days, approximately 20,000 tickets won prizes, including one for $2 million. The lucky ticket from Saturday’s Powerball® drawing matched the white ball numbers of 13, 24, 30, 42 and 48 to win $1 million. The addition of the game’s Power Play® feature doubled the prize to $2 million automatically.

In Wednesday’s Roadrunner Cash® drawing, one ticket won the $100,000 jackpot. The ticket matched the winning numbers of 2, 16, 19, 24 and 30.

All players are encouraged to check and sign their tickets promptly. Drawing game prizes must be claimed within 90 days of the drawing date. Deadlines to claim prizes are printed on the back of all New Mexico Lottery tickets.

Prizes of $100,000 or more must be claimed in person at lottery headquarters in Albuquerque. After being closed in observance of Thanksgiving, the lottery re-opens today.
