On Tuesday, Feb. 8, a lottery player from Fairfield - who chose to remain anonymous - won $390,000 on a "Lucky for Life" ticket that was sold at Daybreak Douguts on Madison Avenue in Bridgeport.

"Lucky for Life" costs $2 per wager, according to CT Lottery, and players fill in a play slip by choosing 5 different "white" ball numbers from 1 to 48, and one "yellow" Lucky Ball number from 1 to 18, or through a random "Quick Pick" draw.

There are "Lucky for Life" draws each night.

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.”

That wasn't the only lucky lotto player. Other recent winners of prizes topping $10,000, according to CT Lotto include:
