"In New Mexico, the same lottery vendors that make up Northstar New Jersey have been pushing for several years to lower the state minimum. But it has been defeated in the legislature every time, largely due to heavy pushback by Think New Mexico, a bipartisan policy group that questions the math behind the proposal.

“I’ve never understood it and fortunately we’ve been able to persuade a majority of legislators that the math is beyond fuzzy how this would work,” Fred Nathan said.

At the beginning of June, New Mexico announced it was increasing its lottery education scholarships." ... See MoreSee Less

"Still, many lawmakers in New Mexico are touts for the gambling industry. Each year they offer a bill that would repeal a law requiring the state lottery to transfer 30 percent of its revenues to a scholarship fund for college students.

Legislators eager for this change say the lottery is hogtied by the mandate. If only lottery executives were able to spend more on prizes and advertising, Maestas and other legislators say, the scholarship fund some day would receive tens of millions of dollars more from ticket sales.

They ignore that the lottery previously operated without the requirement of 30 percent of its revenues going for college scholarships. In that era, the lottery provided tens of millions of dollars less for the scholarship program. Instead, it spent more percentage-wise on its administrative operations.

Fortunately for New Mexico residents, lawmakers such as Reps. Matthew McQueen, D-Galisteo, and Jason Harper, R-Rio Rancho, have blocked bills that would have shortchanged college students while enriching lottery vendors." - Milan Simonich ... See MoreSee Less
