HB 485 New Hampshire House · 2025 Regular Session

authorizing persons who win the state lottery to remain anonymous.

HB 485 allows state lottery winners to keep their identities private by prohibiting the state from publicly disclosing their names or personal information. This directly affects individuals who win significant lottery prizes, preventing public records from revealing their names, addresses, or other personal details. The bill amends existing law to remove requirements that previously mandated the state to publish winner information upon claim. It takes effect on September 30, 2025, after being signed by Governor Ayotte on August 1, 2025.
