Mega Millions jackpot hit estimated $660 million Friday
New Hampshire Lottery said Friday's Mega Millions jackpot estimated around $660 million.
The drawing is the third largest prize in Mega Millions' 20-year history and ninth largest in U.S. history.
Hundreds of Granite Staters purchased tickets at places like Bunny's Convenience in Manchester.
"Always a fan of Bunny's," Micah Harrison of Manchester said.
The Mega Millions jackpot was last hit April 15.
Brenda Leighton of Manchester said she is excited to play.
"It just turns around your life. I'm going on 72. I want to retire," Leighton said.
A New Hampshire Wine and Liquor Outlet in Portsmouth sold a second-prize ticket Tuesday.
Katrina Boranski of Manchester said she usually does not play the lottery but bought a ticket Friday.
"People at the office wanted me to start," Boranski said. "I live here in the North End, and they wanted me to stop in and get a ticket, so here I am."
Lottery experts said the chances of matching all winning numbers on a $2 ticket is 1 in 302 million.
WMUR will show the winning numbers.
