We’ve got “paper” and “electronic” PULL TABS, and we’ve just recently added to our repertoire of crowd pleasing favorites. And as if that wasn’t enough, we also offer all other N.H. Lottery venues including LOTTO
Mega Millions, Power Ball, Mega Bucks, Pick 3, Pick 4, as well as Scratch-Off tickets of every size, shape, theme, and monetary denomination. So if you’re itchin’ for scratchin’, hankerin’ for a hamburger, & salivatin’ for “suds,” stop by your ELKS LODGE at 12 Murphy Drive. We’ve re-defined “One Stop Shopping!”
