MANCHESTER, NH — If you bought your Powerball ticket at Bunny’s Superette on Webster Street, you may have a $50,000 golden ticket.
“Yes, we have a confirmed $50,000 winner,” said Pramod Nyaupane on
Sunday, owner of the little supermarket on Webster, which has earned a reputation for selling hot tickets.

According to the New Hampshire Lottery, Bunny’s is on the Top 10 list of places where winning tickets have most often been sold — and even bears a sign that reads: “NH Lottery’s Most Winning Store.”
Nyaupane shared the news via social media Sunday morning.
To win $50,000 you need to match four numbers plus the Powerball. The odds of that are slightly less than a million-to-1. Nyaupane will get 1 percent of the pay out for selling the ticket, or $500, he said.
The Lottery Commission confirmed there were no $900 million ticket holders for the historic jackpot following the Jan. 9 draw.

Nyaupane said Powerball sales were brisk last week and he expects more heavy foot-traffic into his grocery store, at 75 Webster St., between now and Wednesday, as the jackpot for the next scheduled Powerball drawing on Jan. 13 will now be an estimated $1.5 billion, according to lottery officials.
