CONCORD, NH — The Mega Millions jackpot continues to climb after there was no winner on Tuesday. The New Hampshire Lottery expects Friday's drawing to be around $421 million. The one-time cash payout is expected to increase to $291 million before taxes are taken out.

"We absolutely love to see this Mega Millions jackpot continuing to grow to an estimated $421 million," he said, "and you can feel the excitement building among our players and retailers.
