The Fairfield County resident’s big windfall came just days after a Litchfield County resident won $2 million playing Powerball on a ticket purchased at 7-Eleven in Oakville.

According to CT Lottery, “Lotto!” costs $1 per wager, with players choosing six different numbers between 1 and 44 (or selecting “Quick Pick” for a random selection).

Jackpots are won by matching all six numbers, though there are other ways to win smaller prizes in the game.

Drawings are held every Tuesday and Friday at approximately 10:38.

That wasn’t the only lucky CT Lottery player. Other winners who claimed prizes worth at least $10,000 include:
