In New Haven County, Hamden resident Bernard Tucker, Jr. is $100,000 richer after winning the grand prize on a "$100,000 50th Anniversary" CT Lottery ticket that was sold at the Anas Food Mart on Foxon Road in East Haven on Monday, April 25.

Players of "$100,000 50th Anniversary" must match numbers to the "winning numbers" to win a prize. That prize can then be multiplied up to a grand total of $100,000.

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.”
