Promotion and Rules are subject to change.
Q: How does the Big Scratcher Second-Chance Promotion work?
A: Go to My Rewards and follow these steps:
- Sign in to your My Rewards account (or sign up for one, it’s free!)
- Go to the Enter Tickets tab to enter your New Mexico Lottery Authority (NMLA) non-winning Scratchers from either Game #375 Royal Riches or Game #368 Super Triple Red 777’s.
- Each eligible non-winning Scratcher entered receives one (1) entry.
- The Entry will be automatically entered in the Big Scratchers Second-Chance Promotion Drawing for the month it is entered in.
Q: Which instant tickets are eligible for the Big Scratcher Second Chance Promotion Second-Chance drawing?
A: Only non-winning Scratchers from the following games are eligible for the promotion:
- Game #375 Royal Riches
- Game #368 Super Triple Red 777’s
Q: Why are these two games the only “big tickets” eligible for the promotion?
A: Tickets from Game #375 Royal Riches and Game #368 Super Triple Red 777’s refer to the My Rewards Monthly Promotions on the ticket back. The My Rewards Monthly Promotions ended before these games were made available for sale, so we created an opportunity for players to still enter them in a second-chance drawing.
Q: If I have a Scratcher from these games, what is the Last Day to Claim a prize?
A: These games will end on September 1, 2021. The last day to claim a prize is November 30th. This end of game information is posted at Lottery Retailers and on the NMLA .
Q: Can I enter the Big Scratchers Second-Chance Promotion more than one time?
A: Yes, you may enter the Big Scratchers Second-Chance Promotion as many times as you wish. Please note, players may enter up to fifty (50) tickets per day in My Rewards. Each non-winning ticket from the eligible games may only be entered one time.
Q: How can I be sure that my entry has been submitted?
A: When you submit an entry, a record of it appears on the My Entries Page. There are multiple tabs on this page. Look for the one that shows Entries.
Q: Can I mail in my Scratchers to enter the Promotion Drawing?
A: No, only internet entries (via desktop computer or mobile device) are allowed in this promotion. Tickets submitted by any other method will be disqualified.
