VT and NH Lottery Results: Mid-August 2026 Updates

Powerball (Aug 12):: The winning numbers were 04-26-66-67-69 with a Powerball of 09. The Power Play multiplier was set to 2x.

Gimme 5 (Tri-State) (Aug 12):: Winning combination: 03-13-16-23-38.

Pick 3 & Pick 4:: On Aug 12, Pick 3 Day results were 6-8-2 and Pick 3 Evening came up 8-7-4. For Pick 4, Day was 6-7-8-5 and Evening was 4-8-4-5.

Millionaire for Life (Regional Variance):: While the Aug 12 draw matched standard formats (08-22-23-28-35, Bonus 03), the Aug 9 NH-only draw saw slightly different combinations (e.g., 08-22-31-57-58), highlighting how specific bonuses or game variants can fluctuate between states.

Why this matters:: These regions operate heavily on shared draws like Gimme 5 and Megabucks Plus via the Tri-State Lottery. A win in these games is recognized across Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, making the pool of potential winners much larger and the distribution networks more complex than state-exclusive games.

Prizes up to $499: Can be claimed at any authorized lottery retailer or headquarters by presenting a signed ticket.

Prizes between $500 and $5,000: In Vermont, these may be processed at any M&T Bank location during business hours (Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4 p.m., excluding holidays).

Prizes over $5,000: Must be claimed in person at the respective state's Lottery Headquarters. You must bring a government-issued photo ID and a completed claim form.

A:: Yes. Because Gimme 5, Pick 3, and Pick 4 are Tri-State games, tickets purchased in participating retailers in Vermont, New Hampshire, or Maine are valid across all three states.

A:: Unfortunately, lottery tickets are bearer instruments, meaning possession equals ownership. If you cannot present the physical, signed ticket, you generally cannot claim the prize. Always sign the back immediately upon purchase.

A:: Yes. Vermont's Second Chance lottery allows players to enter eligible non-winning instant scratch tickets. Registration must be done through the state’s official Lottery website or app, with quarterly drawings held in Canada.

A:: Powerball drawings are held daily at 10:59 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

Verify Your Tickets Immediately:: Cross-reference your tickets against the results above, especially for multi-draw events like Gimme 5 where the same numbers apply across VT and NH.

Check Local Retailers First:: Do not travel to headquarters for small wins ($499 and under); your local convenience store can validate these instantly.

Understand Bank Partnerships:: In VT, leverage the partnership with M&T Banks for mid-range claims ($500-$5,000) to avoid long lines at headquarters.

Stay Updated:: Trends show that mid-week draws (like the Monday-Wednesday-Friday Powerball schedule) often see higher volatility in Mega/Millionaire jackpot rollovers compared to weekend draws.
