New Hampshire Mega Millions Jackpot Climbs To $604M Ahead Of Friday Drawing

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Lottery expects Friday’s July 10 Mega Millions jackpot to climb to $604 million, with a projected one-time cash payout of $266.3 million before taxes are withheld.

The drawing is scheduled for 10:59 p.m. Friday.

The jackpot has been building since March 2026, when, according to the New Hampshire Lottery, a player in Ohio purchased a $60 million jackpot-winning ticket. The lottery said there have now been 32 consecutive drawings without a jackpot winner.

“After one of the warmest weekends of the year where we celebrated America’s 250th birthday, the celebrating continues as we anticipate the Mega Millions jackpot to be more than $600 million,” Charlie McIntyre, the executive director of the New Hampshire Lottery, said. “We can only hope a lucky New Hampshire player cashes in on that prize, setting them up for a fun-filled summer and beyond. So good luck, New Hampshire, be sure to visit your local retailer or make that purchase online through NH iLottery for your chance to win – it only takes one ticket to win!”

Mega Millions drawings are held Tuesdays and Fridays at 10:59 p.m.

In New Hampshire, tickets are sold at more than 1,200 retailers statewide and online through NH iLottery. Players may buy a Mega Millions ticket until 9:48 p.m. online or 9:50 p.m. in stores on the evening of the draw, according to the lottery. More information is available at nhlottery.com.

The New Hampshire Lottery said it has contributed more than $3 billion to education in the state since 1964. Over the past 62 years, it has recorded more than $10 billion in lottery sales and other earnings, with nearly $7 billion paid in prizes and other cost of sales.
