$570M Powerball Ticket Sold At Reeds Ferry Market In Merrimack

MERRIMACK, NH — If you bought a Powerball ticket at Reeds Ferry Market in Merrimack, you might have just woken up a lot wealthier — about $570 million richer to be exact. The lone winning lottery ticket was sold at the convenience store on the corner of Daniel Webster Highway and Depot Street, the New Hampshire Lottery said in a Facebook post.

The winning numbers drawn late Saturday were 12-29-30-33-61 and Powerball 26. The Powerball jackpot was the seventh largest in U.S. history.

Reeds Ferry Market will receive a $75,000 bonus for selling the ticket.

The jackpot refers to the annuity option. Payments are made over 29 years. Most winners choose cash options though, which for Powerball would be $358.5 million.

As large as Saturday's jackpot was, it's dwarfed by the record-setting $1.6 billion prize from January 2016 and far under the $758.7 million prize won in Massachusetts in August.

The odds of winning the Powerball jackpot are one in 292.2 million.

The identity of the winner wasn't immediately available.
