A store in Merrimack, N.H., sold the lone winning ticket in Saturday’s $559.7 million Powerball drawing, according to New Hampshire Lottery and Powerball officials.
The ticket was sold at Reeds Ferry Market on Daniel Webster Highway, just off the Everett Turnpike, New Hampshire Lottery spokeswoman Maura McCann said. The store will receive a $75,000 bonus for selling the winner, she said.
Saturday’s jackpot was the seventh largest in US history. It’s the 11th winning Powerball ticket sold in New Hampshire since the state joined the game 23 years ago, McCann said.
Earlier reports said the jackpot was $570 million, but McCann said the winner will receive nearly $560 million.
The jackpot amount refers to the annuity option, in which payments are made over 29 years. Most winners opt for cash options, which would be about $350 million.
The winning Powerball numbers drawn Saturday night were 12, 29, 30, 33, and 61, and the Powerball was 26.
It’s the second big-time jackpot ticket sold in New Hampshire in the last 18 months.
A $487.6 million Powerball winner was sold in July 2016 at a Hannaford store in Raymond, N.H., outside Manchester. The winner chose to remain anonymous, but did donate $100,000 to local nonprofit groups.
