In Fairfield County, a winning $200,000 "Let It RIDE" scratcher that was sold at the Last Call Wine & Spirits on Main Street in Stratford was cashed in by an area resident on Monday, Jan 3, lottery officials announced.
That same day, in New London County, Norwich resident Judith Amiot won $100,005 on a "CASH5" ticket that was sold at Shri Harkekrishna on West Town Street in Norwich.
Hartford resident Amani Henry also won big with a five-figure prize, claiming $62,500 on a winning ticket on Jan. 3 that had been sold at Sams Food Store on Sisson Avenue.
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 lucky lotto players. Other recent winners of prizes reaching five digits, according to CT Lotto include:
