New Hampshire Lottery Joins Mega Money Jackpots
Follows multi-state eInstant record jackpot award of $5.8 million
Instant Win Gaming (IWG), a leading supplier of eInstant games to NASPL and WLA-member lotteries, congratulates the New Hampshire Lottery on joining the Company’s multi-state eInstant progressive, Mega Money Jackpots.
The New Hampshire Lottery launched Jackpot Spectacular, its first game in the Mega Money Jackpots linked progressive pool, for players in the Granite State on April 24th. New Hampshire joins Pennsylvania and Virginia in offering Mega Money Jackpots linked games.
Additionally, IWG congratulates the Virginia Lottery along with its Mega Money Jackpots player who won a record-setting $5.8 million prize. The win sets another new U.S. iLottery record for the largest eInstant prize.
Mega Money Jackpots launched in July 2023, and over the past nine months the game has created eight millionaires. Since launch, more than 240 players across the participating lotteries have won Mega and Minor jackpots totaling more than $20 million.
The amount and frequency of these prizes showcases the excitement of IWG’s Mega Money Jackpots. To achieve this, select eInstants from participating lotteries each contribute a small percentage of the sales to fund the two progressive prize tiers, with IWG administering the settlement of jackpot prize monies on a turnkey basis.
The multi-state eInstant progressive jackpot is powered by IWG’s InstantJackpots. Since all functionality is contained within IWG’s InstantRGS (remote game server), no development support is required by a lottery’s iLottery platform provider. Additionally, new lotteries can join the system regardless of their iLottery platform provider.
Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director at New Hampshire Lottery, said: “Our industry has a proud track record of collaborating across state lotteries. We’re excited to join Mega Money Jackpots and to bring the excitement of it outsized prizes to our players. We know that our contribution will further enhance the game for everyone involved, and we look forward to creating some new millionaires here in New Hampshire.”
Rhydian Fisher, CEO at IWG, said: “Kudos to the team at New Hampshire Lottery. By joining Mega Money Jackpots, collectively we can award even more million dollar prizes to lottery players. Not only is the game frequently creating new millionaires, but it has also been a leading catalyst for new player signups. Fingers crossed that some new millionaires will be created in New Hampshire very soon.”

The largest lottery in Europe remains the responsibility of WestLotto. At the general meeting of the 19 Eurojackpot countries, the state lottery company of North Rhine-Westphalia in Bled, Slovenia, was confirmed in its administrative leadership role for another three years. In addition, WestLotto managing director Andreas Kötter was once again elected as chairman of the world’s most successful lottery launch in recent years.
“The Eurojackpot is a European success story. We are proud to be significantly involved and to be able to continue our work,” said Andreas Kötter.
Since the first Eurojackpot draw in 2012, the threads for the Eurojackpot have come together at WestLotto. At the company headquarters in Münster, the tips from all participating countries are recorded and the winnings and odds are evaluated. In Bled, the total of 34 state-licensed lottery companies confirmed WestLotto’s outstanding leadership role so far in the gaming offering, which reaches around 325 million people in Europe.
After starting with state-licensed lottery companies from seven countries, the Eurojackpot cooperation has now grown to 19 nations. Most recently, the Greek company OPAP joined the merger in March. Germany is involved with all 16 federal state companies from the German Lotto and Toto Block (DLTB). The draws are carried out every Tuesday and Friday. According to the formula 5 out of 50 and the Euro numbers 2 out of 12, a jackpot of between 10 and 120 million euros is played.
