The Vermont Lottery posted the Aug. 12, 2026 Powerball numbers: 04-26-66-67-69, with Powerball 09 and Power Play 2. For players checking a ticket against the NH Lottery search term today, those are the numbers that matter.
The timing matters because a winning line can turn a routine check into a claim, and Vermont has a set process for that. Prizes up to $499 can be claimed at any authorized Vermont Lottery retailer or at the Vermont Lottery Headquarters. Prizes between $500 and $5,000 can be claimed at any M&T Bank location in Vermont during the Vermont Lottery Office's business hours, which run 8a.m.-4p.m. Monday through Friday, except state holidays. Prizes over $5,000 must be claimed in person at the Vermont Lottery headquarters, and all prize claims must be submitted within one year of the drawing date.
Vermont also offers MegaBucks, Lucky for Life, Powerball and Mega Millions, and it takes part in the Tri-State Lottery with New Hampshire and Maine. That regional setup also covers Mega Bucks, Gimme 5, Pick 3 and Pick 4, giving the state a wider draw-game footprint than a single-game results page might suggest.
The open question for players is not the numbers themselves but whether any ticket matched them, because the posted results do not say what prizes, if any, were won. That is why the claim rules matter now: the clock is already running, and anyone who thinks they have a winner has one year from Aug. 12 to file the claim in the right place.
The results page was generated automatically using information from TinBu and a template written and reviewed by a Vermont editor, which makes the published numbers useful but also underscores the need for players to verify their own tickets before they act.
