“Two top-prize Gimme 5 winners in New Hampshire in less than a week—this is incredible. When it comes to Gimme 5, New Hampshire means lucky!” said Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director of the New Hampshire Lottery Commission. “Gimme 5 is the only game that gives players three chances every week to take home $100,000. We can’t wait to meet our latest top-prize winner!”
