Agreed. NM used to have a Pick 4 game called 4 This Way that ran for 3 years, from Sep 27, 2004 to Oct 27, 2007. The problem was that it wasn't played like regular Pick 4 games. It awarded 4 prize levels for matching all the digits straight, or for matching the last 3, 2, or 1 digit straight. No box plays or pairs. I think the game's popularity suffered as a result.

Hopefully that experience has not permanently put off the New Mexico Lottery from adding a real Pick 4 game.

I don't know about Quicksters and all these instant add-ons that are added to other draw games.

Sure, there can be issues with the draws or printed tickets, but I feel less comfortable playing these instant draw games that are all controlled programmatically. I see more room for error, and because these errors should they exist will be largely invisible t... [ More ]

NM's Quicksters are kinda like scratch-offs minus the scratching. The overall odds on this game are 1 in 3.06, which is better than any draw game. Plus a rolling jackpot, which isn't available with most scratch-offs. Depending on the top prize odds and how far the JP can roll this could be a nice game.

New Mexico is the land of enchantment so why not a Midday Pick 3 game.

The Quickster game sounds a little hokey, a $5.00 wager for a $1K jackpot. Guess the smart players of this new game will wait for the jackpot to grow to a bigger Jackpot before spending five dollars.

Today is D- Day, the invasion of Normandy Beach in 1944. Was not around then but those who served remember how Americans lined up to join the military services to defend their country. A far cry from how we p... [ More ]

I guess it depends what the odds of winning are.

Red Hot Jackpot Bingo . The $5 game offers a starting jackpot of $1,000 that will grow larger until hit. You got to be kidding!!!.
