CONCORD, NH — New Hampshire Lottery officials are excited not only about the 4th highest jackpot in Powerball history but also that a lucky player who bought a ticket in Concord this week has won $50,000.
Saturday’s Powerball jackpot is expected to be $1.3 billion, the 8th largest lottery jackpot ever and the 4th highest in Powerball history. The one-time cash payout should be around $609 million before taxes.
A $50,000 winning ticket was sold at the Shaw’s Supermarket on D’Amante Drive. The ticketholder matched four of the five numbers and the power ball. The odds of winning this combination are one in a million (well, one in 913,129, to be exact).
