Privacy protection for qualifying lottery winners

The New Hampshire Lottery Commission must keep qualifying winners' names, towns or residences, and prize dates private. This protection also covers gross and net annual prize payment amounts, even when other laws allow disclosure. Winners must request anonymity in writing and meet at least one of three conditions. They must be domestic violence victims, have an active restraining order against another person, or receive the lottery commissioner's finding that anonymity serves their best interests. The law takes effect 60 days after passage.
