Oh, to dream... and just before Christmas?  Wouldn't that be sweet?

The New Hampshire Lottery says that Friday night's Mega Millions jackpot is projected to be almost $600 million dollars, making it the 10th largest in the game's history.

Might as well try, right?

If you won and you choose the cash payout, it will be approximately $280 million.

Buy NH Lottery tickets online

They sure do make it easy.  Did you know that you don't have to wait in line at the convenience store to buy a Mega Millions ticket?  It's a true statement.  You just have to have an account with the NH lottery and bob's your uncle.  Actually, everyone will claim to be related to you if you win this one.

You have to be in New Hampshire to play, however, so, if you are on a computer that has a different home base, you won't be verified and you will not be able to play.

The Mega Million drawing will be on Friday night, December 6, 2024.

Mega Millions jackpot has been growing since September, when a player in Texas won the $810 Million Dollar jackpot.  Not bad.  Guess they do things bigger in Texas.

The largest Mega Millions Jackpot was $1.602 BILLION dollars and that was won in Florida.  FLORIDA of all places.

You can't win if you don't play

Here's another tip for you.  If you buy the ticket and you don't believe you will win, save your money.  I believe that if your mind is set to win, you have a much better chance than if you say, "Well, I never win anything."  If you say that, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, so go home, ya big loser.  Instead, start shopping online for that oceanside property you've been dreaming of.

New Hampshire has had their fair share of winners.  I mean, check out this list. 

The one that really got me was when one of the "all time biggest" jackpots was won by someone in my hometown of Raymond, New Hampshire and they bought the ticket WHERE I BUY MINE.  Oh.  It's okay, it's okay, it just wasn't my time..... yet.
