Holiday Bucks ($5)
Holiday Bucks is the pick of the launch on our numbers. Its four $75,000 top prizes sit in 1,147,900 tickets, about 1 in 287,000, with 12 prizes of $5,000 and 40 of $1,000 below them. It wins 1 in 4.12 times, and 41% of those wins return the $5. The 67.7% payout is just above New Hampshire's $5 average of 67.4%, and the game rates 81.2, first of 23 $5 games and third among all 89 the state sells.
$50 or $100 Series VII ($10)
This ticket pays $50 or $100 and nothing else. Of its 120,980 winners, 78,787 get $50 and 42,193 get $100, so roughly one ticket in 27 pays $100 and one in 14 pays $50. That works out to 1 in 9.3 overall, which means about nine of 10 tickets lose, but no winner gets less than five times the price. The prizes add up to 72.5% of sales, close to the 72.3% New Hampshire average for $10 games. Connecticut runs a similar design at $20, covered in its October 30 launch. This one rates 53.3, 12th of 18 New Hampshire $10 games.
Ugly Sweater Cash ($2)
