In a stroke of incredible luck, a New Hampshire lottery player has become the latest Tri-State Megabucks jackpot winner.
The winning ticket, worth an estimated $13.9 million, was sold at Milton Mart, located at 16 Commerce Way in Milton. The draw took place on the evening of March 4, 2024.
The fortunate winner now faces a significant decision: receiving the grand prize in graduated payments spread over 30 years or opting for a one-time, lump sum payout.
Mega Jackpots Await
In addition to the Megabucks victory, New Hampshire residents are currently eyeing an estimated total of $1.13 billion from the combined jackpots of Mega Millions and Powerball.
The Mega Millions jackpot is projected to reach $650 million, while the Powerball jackpot is expected to hit $485 million. Cash payouts for these draws are estimated at $308.6 million for Mega Millions and $232.4 million for Powerball, both before taxes.
