FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
1. What time do ticket sales stop before a drawing?
Sales typically close 15 to 60 minutes before the drawing time, depending on the game. For example, Powerball sales often stop at 10:00 p.m. ET for a 10:59 p.m. drawing. Always check with your retailer or the NH Lottery app for the exact cutoff.
2. Do I have to match the numbers in exact order?
- Pick 3 & Pick 4: Yes, for the top "Straight" prize, order matters. You can also play "Box" where order doesn’t matter (but the prize is smaller).
- Powerball, Megabucks Plus, Millionaire for Life, Mega Millions, Lucky for Life, Gimme 5: No, the main numbers can be in any order. The special ball (Powerball, Megaball, Bonus, etc.) must match its specific spot.
3. How long do I have to claim a prize?
In New Hampshire, you generally have 1 year (365 days) from the drawing date to claim your prize. Don’t lose your ticket!
4. Can I stay anonymous if I win a big jackpot?
New Hampshire law does not allow lottery winners to remain completely anonymous for prizes over a certain threshold (usually $600+). Your name, town, and prize amount become public record. However, you may be able to claim through a trust—consult a lawyer before signing the ticket.
5. Where does the lottery money go?
A significant portion of every dollar spent on NH Lottery tickets goes directly to funding public education in the state (K-12 and community college). Since 1964, the NH Lottery has contributed over $2.5 billion to education!
