On Tuesday, Oct. 26, New Haven resident Ivonne Vargas cashed in a winning $38,020 "PLAY4 DAY" lottery ticket that was sold at the Shell Food Mart on Townsend Avenue in New Haven.

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.”

Vargas wasn't the only one to get lucky. Other recent winners of prizes topping $10,000, according to CT Lotto include:
