CONCORD, NH — To the buyer of a Mega Millions ticket at the Franconia Market & Deli on Main Street in Franconia on Tuesday: Your $40,000 is waiting for you.
New Hampshire Lottery Executive Director Charlie McIntyre congratulated the winner, who picked four of the five matching balls and the Mega Ball, for $10,000, and then added the four-time Multiplier Prize.
“It may not have been the jackpot,” he said, “but it shows we’ve got some luck brewing in the Granite State.”
McIntyre said Friday’s jackpot was expected to be $843 million with a one-time cash payout of around $392 million before taxes. If anyone wins on Friday, it will be the eighth-largest jackpot.
“I love handing out prizes, and hopefully the next one is the big jackpot,” he said. “Set yourself up for a fun Friday night by purchasing your tickets at your local retailer or online at NH iLottery — just remember, it only takes one to win.”
Mega Millions drawings are Tuesdays and Fridays. Players have until around 9:45 p.m. to purchase tickets.
