In Hartford County, a winning $2,200,000 "$100,000 A Year For Life" ticket was sold to a Bloomfield resident - who chose not to disclose a name - at the D-Mart on Lexington Avenue in Hartford that was cashed in on Thursday, Jan. 27.

CT Lottery said that the overall odds of winning on a "$100,000 A Year For Life" ticket is 1 in 4.06.

"$100,000 A Year For Life” top prizes will be paid as $100,000 a year for life, with a guaranteed minimum total payout of $2,000,000, or as a one-time gross cash option payment of $2,200,000, according to the organization.

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 lucky lotto players. Other recent winners of prizes reaching five digits, according to CT Lotto include:
