CONCORD, N.H. – For the first time ever, players can play the New Hampshire Lottery online. This month, the New Hampshire Lottery introduced iLottery, an online platform for playing New Hampshire Lottery games. Players can choose from a menu of games, including the New Hampshire Lottery’s most popular draw games, Powerball and Mega Millions, as well as eight e-Instant games. Online e-Instant games offer different games than traditional scratch games sold in stores.
“The New Hampshire Lottery’s focus is squarely on our players. Everything we do is driven by our players, and we are constantly striving to offer players new opportunities,” said Charlie McIntyre, executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery. “iLottery is a strategic response to our technology-driven culture—you can now play the New Hampshire Lottery from anywhere while in New Hampshire.”
“The New Hampshire Lottery is always looking for opportunities to drive revenue, which supports education in New Hampshire, and we see iLottery as an important new tool to support our efforts to increase sales,” McIntyre continued. “We expect our iLottery offerings to support continued momentum as we work to drive record-breaking sales and revenues.”
In addition to the eight e-Instant games currently offered on iLottery, the New Hampshire Lottery will add new e-Instant games monthly. iLottery will ultimately offer a total of 24 e-Instant games by the end of the first year.
In addition to Powerball and Mega Millions, the following online e-Instant games are currently offered on iLottery:
- Wizard of All
- 10X the Cash
- Blazing Red 7s
- Diamond Payout
- Jackpot Cash
- Multiplier Max Out
- Pot o’ Gold
- VIP Black
iLottery has been met with enthusiasm from players, as more than 4,200 players are part of the new platform. Since iLottery launched on September 4, the New Hampshire Lottery has paid out $362,263 in winnings. To date, players have deposited nearly $100,000 in iLottery accounts to purchase tickets.
To play, players must register for an iLottery account through the New Hampshire Lottery. Registered players deposit money into their iLottery accounts to be used to play iLottery games. Players can play from a smart phone, tablet, laptop or desktop computer.
iLottery is available to all U.S. persons located within New Hampshire. Players must be at least 18 years of age and must pass an identity verification process, which requires the submission of the last four digits of the player’s social security number.
