In Hartford County, a local resident won $100,000 playing "Cash5" on a drawing sold at the Citgo gas station on Albany Avenue in Hartford.
The winner, a Hartford resident, chose not to disclose a name.
"Cash5" costs $1 per wager, and players can add a "KICKER" option for an additional 50 cents per wager to increase the chance of winning and unlock additional prize levels.
To play "Cash5" with a "KICKER," players choose five different numbers between 1 and 35 or ask for a "Quick Pick" to let the machine choose random numbers.
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 player to get lucky. Other recent winners of prizes reaching five digits, according to CT Lotto include:
