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 will not disclose 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 two conditions: they must either be a victim of domestic violence as defined in RSA 173-B:1, I, or have an active restraining order against another individual.

The bill effectively amends existing law by inserting this new provision while ensuring that the privacy of certain lottery winners is protected. The act is set to take effect 60 days after its passage, providing a timely response to the concerns of individuals who may wish to keep their lottery winnings confidential for safety reasons.
