What New Mexico charges, and what you get for it

How fast New Mexico top prizes get claimed
We snapshot every game's remaining prize counts daily, so we can show depletion rather than just the current number. This counts the drop in top prizes remaining each month across 20 tracked games whose top prize is $10,000 or more, 21 claimed in total over the window. No other site publishes this.
Top prizes claimed per month. A game that launched mid-window only contributes claims recorded after its first snapshot, so its opening month reads low.
ValueScore spread across New Mexico
Our ValueScore™ rates each game 0-100 on expected value, prize quality, win frequency and remaining inventory. Scores are ranked within the state, so a 60 in New Mexico means good relative to what else is on the shelf here.
