I believe you are correct about New Hampshire (I'm from MA). Can remember as a child over 50 years ago now---wow-- crossing the border and a huge neon type sign saying New Hampshire Sweepstakes on top of the state liquor store.

There must be several other states who are about to have 40 or more years in and it will be fun to see what they do for theirs.
