SIGN IT! IT’S YOURS! Player Protection Tips

Following the purchase of your lottery tickets, please sign the back of your tickets. The Lottery is committed to ensuring that all aspects of our games are conducted in a secure manner with fairness and integrity ……….click here for more information.

1. Sign the Back of Your Ticket Immediately After Purchasing.

A lottery ticket is a bearer instrument meaning that the Lottery must pay the holder (the one who “bears” it) of a winning ticket presented for payment. Signing the back of the ticket is the single most important thing you can do to help protect yourself from theft and demonstrate ownership of the ticket

2. Learn How to Play & Check your Tickets.

Find out the rules and winning combinations for the games you play in order to have an idea of how much you've won before presenting your tickets for cashing. Also, many lottery retailers have self service ticket checkers to use to find out prior to cashing in your ticket if it is a winner or not. The New Hampshire Lottery website has a great deal of information regarding the games we offer, how to win, etc.

3. Ask for a Validation Receipt When Having Your Ticket Cashed.

Prizes of $600 or less can be paid by Lottery retailers and following the validation of your ticket, a receipt is printed by the lottery terminal. If ever you are in doubt or question the amount of winnings, ask for a receipt confirming whether the ticket was a winner or the amount won. If you are told your ticket is not a winner, you may request its return. There is no reason for a retailer to keep a non-winning ticket. Most lottery retailers have a Customer Transaction Display unit which tells a player how much their tickets cost and/or when a ticket is validated, the amount of prize money won displays on the Customer Transaction Display unit.

NH Powerball® -- Now, more Powerful than ever!

We’ve packed New Hampshire’s favorite game with more fun, more excitement and a whole lot more money! We’ve raised Powerball’s® starting jackpot from $15 million to $20 million. Next, we raised the $200,000 prize to $1 million for players who Match 5 and have Power Played their winning ticket. We also lowered the overall odds of winning -- that means bigger jackpots, more often and more prizes won than ever before!

Players choose 5 numbers from a field of 1 through 59 and one Powerball® Number from a field of 1 through 39. With the change of the numbers to choose from, the overall odds of winning the jackpot prize will lengthen but the overall odds of winning will drop to 1 in 35!

Play the all new Powerball® today!

In very rare instances, the lottery may not be able to pay the stated set prize levels.  In that case, the prize pools will go pari-mutuel (like the jackpot) and we will divide the prize pool among all of the winners.

 

Congratulations to our winners!

While the New Hampshire Lottery Commission® implements strong measures to provide secure and entertaining gaming products to its players, there are important security precautions that you should take when playing Lottery games to improve your gaming experience.

What you can do:

1. Be knowledgeable of the game that you are playing.
2. Sign your name on the back of the ticket.
3. Scan your tickets yourself by using the ticket scanner in participating stores, or ask the clerk for a print out of winning numbers to compare to your ticket(s). Customers with internet access are invited to check the winning numbers on-line at http://www.nhlottery.org/
4. When presenting your on-line ticket to a clerk for validation, read the consumer display graphics screen which indicates a winning ticket and prize or a non-winning ticket. Listen for the audible message that sounds "congratulations-you’re a winner" or "sorry-not a winner". The same is true for instant scratch tickets with the exception that there is no audible for non-winning tickets. The graphics screen will indicate a non-winning ticket.
5. If your ticket is a non-winner, you may ask the clerk to print a receipt and return both the receipt and the ticket to you.
6. If your ticket is a winning ticket, you may ask the clerk to show you the receipt as proof of the prize amount. The clerk retains winning tickets and cash receipts for record keeping.
7. Remember that single prizes of $599.00 or greater, must be claimed at New Hampshire Lottery headquarters located at 14 Integra Drive in Concord, New Hampshire.
8. Please play responsibly.

Sincerely,
Leonard Mannino
Chief Security Officer

If you have some way of using an address within the State of New Hampshire, we will be able to accept the subscription. However, if the only mailing address that is available is outside of New Hampshire, the lottery will not be able to entertain your offer.
