New Mexicans hope to win Mega Millions
The line is growing at M&T Mini Mart in Albuquerque, and so is the jackpot
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The line is growing at M&T Mini Mart in Albuquerque, and so is the jackpot. With Tuesday night’s Mega Millions drawing reaching over $900 million, hope is high, and ticket sales are booming.
“They’re meticulous with the way they do their lottery, right?” said Ashlee Weiss, co-owner of the M&T Mini Mart. “So, everyone has their own way to do things, and a lot of people are specific to a store. They feel like they win better at that store, they get better luck at that store, and luckily we’ve become that store for quite a few people.”
M&T Mini Mart Owner, Teresa Thompson, says he’s been selling hundreds of tickets a day, and it hasn’t slowed down.
“[It’s been] much busier,” said Thompson. “People buy tickets. If they win, then they use their winnings to buy more tickets, and it’s just like a big cycle.”
Players like Hazel and her dad say, even with the odds stacked against them, it’s about the dream. She says she’s her dad’s good luck charm.
“My dad wanted me to pick some lottos because the last time I did, he won $30,” she said.
Tickets are on sale until the drawing at 9 p.m. Tuesday night, then it’s all up to luck. If you haven’t bought one yet, you’re not alone. Lines like this one are expected right up to the drawing.
Whether it’s a dream, a dollar, or a long shot — this gas station says they’ll be ready to print hope until the very last minute.
“It spurs a lot of imagination when it gets this big,” said Wendy Ahlm, New Mexico Lottery director of Advertisement and Marketing. “People start thinking about what they could do, what they would do differently, what they might, you know, gift their friends or their family, or what kind of lifestyle they would have.”
Grant’s Monday Evening Forecast
Rain chances increase across parts of New Mexico through Wednesday, while breezy conditions stick around all week.
Upper level moisture moving into the state today is bringing a few isolated sprinkles, but most of the rain is evaporating before reaching the ground. The evaporating rain is causing some locally windy weather and picking up dust. It’s also another warm day with a few record and near-record highs, including another record high in Albuquerque. The light sprinkles will taper off tonight, but cloud cover will stick around.
Better moisture arrives from the west Tuesday afternoon, bringing a higher chance for wetting rainfall, mainly across western and northwestern New Mexico. Snow will also develop in the San Juan Mountains. A few showers and storms could reach as far east as the Rio Grande Valley by Tuesday evening.
The best chance for widespread rain comes Wednesday as deeper moisture and a Pacific cold front move in. Rain and mountain snow will favor western, northwestern, and northern New Mexico early in the day. Activity will weaken farther east, but a few light showers may reach eastern New Mexico by late morning. It will also turn cooler and windier Wednesday afternoon.
Warmer and drier weather returns Thursday and continues into Friday. A backdoor cold front moves into eastern New Mexico Friday night, bringing cooler temperatures to that part of the state for the weekend.
SANTA FE, N.M. – Northbound I-25 work near San Felipe Pueblo could slow Albuquerque-to-Santa Fe commuters this week through April 10.
The New Mexico Department of Transportation said crews started maintenance on I-25’s northbound lanes between mile 250 and 264 between Santa Fe and Albuquerque.
The work is happening near San Felipe Pueblo, and crews will do the maintenance in five-mile increments.
NMDOT said crews finished the same maintenance on the southbound lanes over the last two weeks.
NMDOT expects the northbound work to be done by April 10.
