New Mexico’s New Lottery Game Begins Drawing Friday

10/24/2014

ALBUQUERQUE – The MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB™ lottery game will draw winning numbers for the first time Friday at 9:15 p.m. M.T.

The new national drawing game is designed to make millionaires of many players rather than pay a gigantic jackpot to one extraordinarily lucky person.

“The goal is to spread the wealth and make more and more millionaires,” said New Mexico Lottery CEO David Barden.

Playing a Life Size Monopoly Game

The MONOPOLY MILLIONAIRES’ CLUB lottery game offers three ways to become a millionaire.

  • A top prize that will start at $15 million and roll to a cap of $25 million;
  • When the top prize is hit, there will be a second drawing for at least 10 prizes of $1 million nationwide;
  • A chance to win a trip to Las Vegas, Nev. and a chance to appear on the nationally televised game show to win $1 million.

The New Mexico Lottery began selling tickets on Sunday. Tickets are $5 each. Drawings will always be on Friday evening. How-to-play brochures are available in stores and at www.nmlottery.com.

The game was developed by Scientific Games and uses Hasbro’s iconic MONOPOLY brand.
