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.
The $450 million payout was the fourth-largest jackpot ever in that lottery. That winner, too, was not identified.
