This bill introduces a new section to RSA 91-A, allowing state lottery winners to remain anonymous under specific conditions. The new section, 91-A:5-b, stipulates that the lottery commission cannot release the winner's name, town of residence, date of the prize, and the gross and net amounts of the annual prize payment if the winner submits a written request for anonymity. To qualify for this anonymity, the winner must meet at least one of the following criteria: be a victim of domestic violence, have an active restraining order against another person, or have a determination from the commissioner of the lottery commission that anonymity is in the winner's best interest.

The bill effectively amends existing law by inserting this new provision while ensuring that the privacy of lottery winners is protected under certain circumstances. The act will take effect 60 days after its passage, providing a clear timeline for implementation.
