FOR:
iLottery Vendor

1. OVERVIEW
The New Hampshire Lottery (hereinafter referred to as the “Lottery”) is one of the most successful and profitable lotteries in the world. We were the first lottery in the nation, the fourth state in the United States to launch iLottery and have taken a leadership role in the industry. In 2019, the Lottery sued the Department of Justice after they changed their opinion on the Federal Wire Act and put millions in education funding at risk. Ultimately, the courts ruled in favor of the Lottery, preserving the new source of education funding for New Hampshire students. The Lottery has continued to grow our iLottery program by adding more draw-based games, more e-Instant games with a wider variety of playstyles, and updates to the iLottery platform to enhance the player experience. New Hampshire is proud to note it was number two per capita iLottery sales in fiscal year 2022.
