Legislative Lottery Scholarships
Benefitting New Mexico’s Future®

Since 1996, more than 149,000 students from across the state have attended New Mexico public colleges, universities and technical colleges with the help of Legislative Lottery Scholarships. See list here.

When New Mexico Plays, New Mexico Wins!® Part of every dollar spent on Lottery tickets benefits New Mexico’s future. It opens the door to new generations of New Mexicans to obtain a college education which otherwise might not have been possible. That helps make New Mexico a better place to live.
