The New Hampshire Lottery was established in 1964, making it the third-oldest lottery in the United States, and the oldest in the contiguous United States. New Hampshire's lottery games include Lucky for Life, Mega Millions, Powerball, Tri-State Megabucks Plus, and numerous scratch tickets. All New Hampshire Lottery games require players to be at least 18 years old.
New Hampshire is part of the Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL), having joined it in 1995. New Hampshire is also a member of the Tri-State Lottery, operated in conjunction with the Maine Lottery and Vermont Lottery. Established in 1985, the Tri-State Lottery was the nation's first multi-jurisdictional lottery. New Hampshire hosts these drawings.
The state's lottery is overseen by the three-member New Hampshire Lottery Commission. Initially known as the Sweepstakes Commission, its first members were sworn into office on August 1, 1963. Commission members are nominated by the Governor of New Hampshire for three-year terms and must be approved by the Governor's Council.
