Some lucky person in New Hampshire has won $560 million in a Powerball lottery, officials said yesterday, just two days after someone in Florida won a cool $450 million, helping push the weekend's total past $1 billion for the first time in US history.
The winning ticket in New Hampshire was sold at Reeds Ferry Market in Merrimack, a city of 25,000, state lottery officials said. The identity of the winner was not revealed.
The $560 million prize, the sixth-largest Powerball jackpot ever, came a year and a half after another New Hampshire player cashed in a $487 million Powerball ticket. The winning Mega Millions ticket in Florida was purchased at a convenience store in Port Richey.
