Begun in 1964, the New Hampshire Lottery (originally known as the "New Hampshire Sweepstakes") is the oldest modern US lottery. New Hampshire's games include Powerball, Hot Lotto, and numerous scratch tickets.

New Hampshire is part of the Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) which it joined in 1995. It is also a member of the Tri-State Lottery, which consists of New England's northernmost states.

As of June 2007, New Hampshire has sold nine jackpot winning Powerball tickets since the state joined MUSL in November 1995. The most recent such ticket was sold in Plymouth, New Hampshire for the April 28, 2007 drawing, worth $67.6 million annuity. The ticket was claimed by a couple from Lake Zurich, Illinois. They chose the cash option of about $31.9 million[1].

All New Hampshire Lottery games require players to be at least 18 years old.
