New Hampshire Online Lottery

The New Hampshire online lottery was authorized in 2017 as a part of a broad budget bill, and the first games launched in September the following year. Within 16 days of launching, NH iLottery recorded more than 4,200 registrations and paid $362,263 in winnings.

Players 18+ and located within state lines can visit NHLottery.com or download the official app to play instant win games and buy New Hampshire Lottery tickets online.

NH iLottery launched with a small collection of instant win games and draw game tickets, but it has expanded the lineup significantly since then.

NH iLottery First Impression

NH iLottery offers a selection of roughly 150 instant win games featuring fixed jackpots worth up to $250,000 and progressive jackpots reaching $3.5 million or more.

Additionally, players can buy lottery tickets online in New Hampshire for Powerball, Mega Millions, Tri-State Megabucks, and Lucky for Life.

Game selection has grow rapidly each year since NH iLottery’s launch. Lottery staff said early on that NH iLottery would launch with a small number of games and then introduce new games on a monthly basis.

Now, the New Hampshire Online Lottery offers roughly 150 scratch-offs online, featuring dozens of themes and play styles. The options run the gamut from “Diamond Payout” with a fixed $250,000 top prize and $0.25 minimum play to “Old West Showdown” with a progressive jackpot of $3.2 million as of this NH iLottery review.

Ease-of-use is a clear strong point for NH iLottery. Once you have signed up for an account, you’ll find it easy to make deposits, buy tickets, play instant win games, and get paid. The process for buying tickets is surprisingly straightforward when it comes to choosing how many tickets you’d like, for which drawings you’d like those tickets, and selecting your numbers.

NH Online Lottery Bonuses

The New Hampshire Online Lottery offers bonuses to existing players on a regular basis. You can check your latest bonus offers by logging in to your account, selecting “my account” from the main menu and then selecting “new bonus offers.”

Inside that area, you’ll see a list of all open offers and instructions for claiming each. The offers change on a regular basis, but usually what you’ll find are offers to make a deposit and earn free plays on a certain featured game.

The NH iLottery website will ask for a “promo code” when signing up, but you can leave this blank for now. Bonuses are offered individually to each customer inside the “my account” area and no promo code is needed upon signing up.

How to Buy New Hampshire Lottery Tickets Online

NH Lottery online tickets can be purchased instantly by heading to NHLottery.com and then visiting the “Play iLottery” tab or by downloading the app from the App Store on iOS devices or from the Google Play Store on Android devices.

Players pay the same price per ticket whether they play the New Hampshire Lottery online or purchase tickets in person from authorized retailers.

Buy Powerball Tickets Online in NH

Powerball tickests cost $2 per ticket and you may buy anywhere from 1 to 100 entries into anywhere from 1 to 104 drawings. For example, you can buy a single ticket into the next drawing for $2.00, twenty tickets into the next drawing for $40.00 or five tickets into each of the next 10 drawings for $100 and so on. However, the minimum purchase for draw games is $5.

The combinations are nearly limitless when it comes to choosing how many tickets you’d like to buy and for how many drawings. Interestingly, the lottery website will let you choose up to 100 tickets for each of the next 104 drawings for a grand total of $20,800 in theory, but a monthly deposit limit of $3,000 renders that impractical.

NH iLottery supports quick-picks as well as choosing your own numbers. Choosing the Powerball option on the lottery website brings up an “easy pick” screen that you can use quickly make a $6, $10 or $20 purchase for 3, 5 or 10 tickets. If you’re logged in, you can also make a quick buy using your favorite purchases.

If you choose to pick your own numbers, NH iLottery will take you to a screen where you can type in your numbers by hand or select them on a digital representation of a play card. A running total will keep you up to date on how much you’re about to spend on tickets.

Buy Mega Millions Tickets Online in NH

The process and options for buying Mega Millions tickets online through the NH Lottery is the same as it is for Powerball tickets. Just visit the NH iLottery website or open the app and choose Mega Millions.

From there, you can make similar quick-pick options to buy 3-10 tickets quickly or use your past favorites to make a purchase with your favorite picks.

Choose “pick my numbers” to visit a secondary screen to make custom picks. The process for making your own Mega Millions picks is identical as it is for buying Powerball tickets.

NH iLottery Games

NH iLottery instant win games are the online equivalent of the scratch-off games sold at lottery retailers across the state. Like classic scratch cards, NH iLottery games are simple to play, offer instant payouts and come in all manner of themes.

The difference, of course, is that iLottery games can be played from the comfort of home on your desktop or while on the go through your mobile device. Additionally, iLottery games allow you to choose your own price for every card with tickets costing anywhere from $0.02 to as much as $30 per game.

For instance, Wizard of All lets you pick your own price ranging from $0.10 to $5 per game with prizes varying accordingly – the more you pay, the bigger the potential payout. While a $0.10 play in Wizard of All yields a top payout of $1,500, a $5 play unlocks a top jackpot of $75,000.

Fixed prizes top out at $250,000 for NH iLottery games. Meanwhile, NH Online Lottery progressive jackpots have no max payout.

The instant win games selection spans roughly 150 games.

NH Online Lottery Deposit Methods

NH iLottery accepts debit cards, PayPal and bank transfers to fund your player account and to make instant purchases. In an effort to promote responsible gambling, NH law prohibits iLottery from accepting credit cards.

The minimum deposit amount is $10 and the deposit limit is $500 per day, $1,500 per week and $3,000 per month. This means you can deposit up to $500 in a single day, but cannot exceed $1,500 in a single week or $3,000 in a single month.

NH iLottery Withdrawals

All prizes of $599 or less are deposited automatically into your player account. From there, you can withdraw the funds via bank transfer or a check in the mail by initiating a withdraw inside your player account or by calling the NH Lottery.

Prizes of $600 to $9,999.99 may also be claimed online, but only after completing an online claim form. The NH Lottery automatically withholds federal taxes on all prizes over $5,000.

Prizes of $10,000 and grater (including annuity prizes) must be claimed in person at the NH Lottery headquarters in Concord.

One key fact that the NH iLottery website mentions deep in the terms and conditions page is that you may only withdraw money that you have won. Anything you deposit must be kept on-site and used to buy tickets or to play instant win games.

Form the terms and conditions page (emphasis ours):

“You may withdraw prizes in your account. You may not withdraw deposits that you have made into your account unless required by law. It is your sole responsibility to not deposit more than you intend to use.”
