Concord, New Hampshire (CNN) – Benefiting from the luck of the draw Wednesday, Rep. Michele Bachmann's name will be listed near the top of New Hampshire primary ballots in January.

The secretary of state's office holds a drawing to determine the order candidates will be listed on the ballot. Each candidate is assigned a number, and the deputy secretary of state draws one number out of a box.

Republican Joe Story - number 27 - was drawn Wednesday, which means he will be listed on the ballot first. The rest of the field will follow in alphabetical order.

As a result, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney's name will appear near the bottom and former Sen. Rick Santorum will be the last name listed.
