Over a period of 10 years, Representative Larry Picket proposed five different bills to establish a sweepstake and raise funds for education in the state of New Hampshire. He was defeated every time, but he never gave up. His efforts finally paid off in 1964, when a bill establishing his suggested sweepstakes was passed and signed into law.
The very first New Hampshire Lottery tickets went on sale in March 1964. Powerball tickets followed much later in 1995, and the state then joined Mega Millions at the beginning of 2010.
To date, more than $2 billion in lottery revenue has been earmarked for educational initiatives in the state. Besides state lotteries, scratch games are also popular in New Hampshire, with tickets starting at just $1 and going up to $25. Prizes can be worth as much as $2 million. New Hampshire Lottery players must be 18 years old or older to purchase lottery tickets and redeem their winnings.
