Jackpot climbs to an estimated $304 million nearing record amounts

Mega Millions mania is in the air as the grand prize for Friday nights drawing has skyrocketed to an estimated $304 million with a onetime cash payout option of $193.6 million.

As the jackpot climbs closer to record territory we couldnt be more excited said Charlie McIntyre Executive Director of the New Hampshire Lottery. This is time when we start to see more and more players get into the game.

Friday nights Mega Millions jackpot is the accumulation of 14 consecutive drawings without a top prize winner and is the largest jackpot since January 4 when a $380 million megajackpot was won.

So far the Mega Millions game has made 63 lucky people millionaires McIntyre added. Now is the time to pick up a ticket or two and get in the game!

Mega Millions is drawn at 11 p.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays and is offered at more than 1200 lottery locations throughout New Hampshire.
