This bill amends RSA 91-A by adding a new section, 91-A:5-b, which allows state lottery winners to remain anonymous under specific conditions. The new legal language stipulates that the lottery commission will not release the winner's name, town or 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 file a petition in superior court to maintain anonymity, which can be done using a pseudonym.

The bill also includes a provision that the petition for anonymity must be served upon the commissioner of the lottery, who has 20 days to respond. The effective date of this act is set for 60 days after its passage, which is September 30, 2025. There are no deletions from current law mentioned in the text, as the bill introduces new provisions to enhance the privacy of lottery winners.
