Lottery officials announced that in New London County on Monday, Jan. 10, Oakdale resident Russell Bowen cashed in a winning “Powerball” ticket worth $50,000 on a ticket sold at Henne Penny Hartford Road 23 on the Hartford Turnpike in Waterford.
That same day, a Plainville resident in Hartford County won the top prize playing “$50,000 Win It All” on a ticket sold at the Dairy Mart on Bradley Avenue in Waterbury.
According to CT Lottery, “when a winning scratch ticket is validated through a Lottery Retailer's terminal, the remaining number of unclaimed prizes for that prize level is automatically updated reflecting one less prize. Until the individual or group presents their winning ticket for claim at CT Lottery Headquarters, the identity of a winner is unknown.”
Those three weren't the only ones to get lucky. Other recent winners of prizes reaching five figures, according to CT Lotto include:
