New Hampshire Lottery's own games
New Hampshire Lottery runs draw games of its own, and their results are not in our database yet — we publish a game only once two independent official sources agree on every draw in its history, and we have not built that for New Hampshire. Rather than republish a feed we have not checked, the page says so. New Hampshire Lottery publishes its own results here.
What is on this page instead is the part nobody else computes: what the multi-state games are worth under New Hampshire's rules, which is not what they are worth under anyone else's.

New Hampshire lottery questions
- What lottery games can you play in New Hampshire?
- Mega Millions and Powerball, plus New Hampshire Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the New Hampshire rules; New Hampshire Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
- Does New Hampshire sell Power Play and Double Play?
- Power Play, yes — $1 a play. Double Play, no: 30 of the 48 lotteries sell it and New Hampshire is not one of them, so a New Hampshire line tops out at $3.
- How much tax does New Hampshire withhold from lottery winnings?
- Nothing — no tax on lottery winnings. Federal withholding of 24% still applies. The calculator does the rest.
- Which New Hampshire lottery game has the best odds?
- Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much.
- Where do these New Hampshire numbers come from?
- The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The New Hampshire rules on this page were read from powerball.com and New Hampshire Lottery on 2026-09-22.
