Mega Millions Jackpot Up To $750 Million; How To Play On Seacoast

With no winners in 34 straight drawings, the Mega Millions lottery jackpot has ballooned to $750 million. And one Seacoast location still holds a top-five spot for a high-cash lottery prize payout.

For those looking for a little extra luck in Friday's drawing, Hannaford in Raymond payed out $352 million in cash back in 2018. Moreover, these seven Seacoast locations have paid out lottery winners in recent months.

But for NH Lottery's big Mega Millions jackpot, which could be claimed Friday, a supreme winner could come away with a one-time cash payout of more than $550 million before taxes.
