Concord, NH – Without a winner in Friday night’s drawing, the New Hampshire Lottery is projecting Tuesday night’s (8/27) Mega Millions jackpot will jump to $575 million. The one-time cash payout is expected to reach $285.5 million. (Estimated jackpot amounts are determined before taxes are withheld.)

“Although summer is winding down, this Mega Millions jackpot run is just getting started,” said Charlie McIntyre, Executive Director, New Hampshire Lottery. “With this jackpot rising, retailers across the state are expecting to see a continued increase in sales approaching tomorrow night’s drawing.
