In Hartford County, Southington resident Gerald Dandrow cashed in a "PLAY4 NIGHT" ticket worth $40,416 that was sold at the Southington Mobil Station on Queen Street.

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 digits, according to CT Lotto include:
