How to Play
New Mexico’s daily-number games share the standard menu of play types:
- Straight — match the drawn digits in exact order — the top payout.
- Box — win on any arrangement of your digits — a lower payout with better odds.
- Straight/Box — split one stake across a straight and a box on the same number.
- Combo — covers every straight arrangement of your digits at once.
- Front / Back Pair — match just the first or last digits, in order, instead of the whole number.
Not every play type is offered on every game, and add-ons can change, so confirm the current menu with the New Mexico Lottery. For the full breakdown of how each bet pays, see Box vs. Straight Payouts.
Prizes & Odds
Because every result is equally likely, the straight odds for each game are fixed:
- Pick 3 Plus (Pick 3) — 1 in 1,000 straight.
- Pick 4 Plus (Pick 4) — 1 in 10,000 straight.
Box plays have better odds but smaller payouts. Prize amounts vary by play type, wager size, and state, and can change over time — check the New Mexico Lottery for current New Mexico payout tables. No past result ever changes a future draw; see Lottery Odds Explained for the full math and what “due” really means.

Deadline: You have 90 days from the drawing date to claim a New Mexico draw-game prize. Check the deadline printed on your ticket, since an expired ticket can’t be redeemed.

New Mexico Lottery Winner Privacy & Public Records
In many states, a lottery winner’s name and city or county become public record once a prize is claimed, and the lottery may use them in publicity. Some states let winners remain anonymous, or claim through a trust or legal entity to keep their name private.
No by default — the New Mexico Lottery will release a winner’s name, city, and prize amount on request; some winners claim through a trust for privacy.
Winner-privacy laws change; confirm the current policy with the New Mexico Lottery before you claim a large prize.
