CONCORD – Without a winner this past Friday, the New Hampshire Lottery expects tomorrow night’s Mega Millions jackpot to increase to $468 million, which would make it the ninth-largest Mega Millions jackpot in history. The New Hampshire Lottery is also projecting Wednesday night’s Powerball jackpot will rise to $201 million. The New Hampshire Lottery projects the Mega Millions one-time cash payout will increase to $316.2 million and the Powerball one-time cash payout will jump to $137.4 million. (Estimated jackpot amounts are determined before taxes are withheld.)
“This is what it is all about! Our players have a combined $669 million ready to be won in Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots over the next two days, and we all have our fingers crossed that we will get not one, but two lucky New Hampshire winners,” said Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director, New Hampshire Lottery. “Both Mega Millions and Powerball are running way ahead of last year’s sales pace and these two dueling jackpots will only push our sales higher–all for the benefit of education in New Hampshire. With two great chances to win big, we encourage all our players to get your tickets now.”
