Lottery Powerball And Mega Millions Jackpots Reach A Combined $783 Million

CONCORD, NH — Two New Hampshire lottery jackpots for Monday and Tuesday are creeping up to a combined $800 million.

On Monday, lottery officials expect the Powerball jackpot to be around $440 million. Tuesday’s Mega Millions jackpot is expected to be about $343 million. Neither jackpot has been won since mid-April.

“We are excited for our players as the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots are dueling once again, and quickly (surpassing) three quarters of a billion dollars,” Charlie McIntyre, the executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery, said. “We wish our players double the luck ahead of both jackpot drawings this weekend. Don’t miss out on these two chances to win big — get your tickets now!”

Before taxes, the one-time payout on Powerball is expected to be more than $230 million, while the one-time payout of Mega Millions will be around $180 million. Neither prize is close to the record jackpots. For Powerball, that was $2.04 billion in November 2022, the largest lottery jackpot in history. The largest Mega Millions jackpot was $1.537 billion in October 2018.

Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11 p.m. and Powerball drawings are held Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 10:59 p.m. Tickets are on sale at more than 1,200 retailers statewide and online at NH iLottery.
