Can I offer contests that involve non-cash prizes in New Hampshire? What are the requirements?

Based on the information provided in the context documents, it is possible to offer contests that involve non-cash prizes in New Hampshire. However, there are specific requirements that must be followed.

According to NHCAR Sw 902.02 and Lot 902.02, if the claimant of a non-cash prize is identified as having a child support arrearage and the claimant does not contest owing such arrearage, the commission shall, at the request of the claimant, retain the prize for up to 5 business days to afford the claimant the opportunity to satisfy any arrearage. Alternatively, when the non-cash prize has a cash prize payout option, the commission can convert the prize to cash and remit to DCSS, the arrearage amount owed up to the cash value paid by the commission, and remit the remaining cash balance to the claimant, if any. If the claimant is unable to satisfy the arrearage within the deadlines described above, the commission shall immediately convert the prize to cash and remit to DCSS the arrearage amount owned up to the cash value of the prize and remit the remaining balance to the claimant, if any. If the prize cannot be converted to cash, the claimant shall forfeit the prize, and the commission shall select an alternate winner.

Therefore, if you plan to offer contests that involve non-cash prizes in New Hampshire, you must comply with the above requirements regarding child support arrearage.
