The New Mexico Lottery Authority is moving ahead with plans for a new game that will be tied to the outcome of sporting events.
The lottery board voted unanimously Tuesday in favor of the new game, which could go on sale in four to six months.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the move is the first by a state government to cash in on a U.S. Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that struck down a federal law that largely prohibited sports betting outside of Nevada.
