In Hartford County, a resident of Avon who chose not to disclose a name won $500,000 playing "$500,000 Extravaganza!" on Monday, March 28 after cashing in a ticket sold at the Big Y Class Market on West Main Street in Avon.
"$500,000 Extravaganza!" players have a 1 in 3.09 chance of winning, lottery officials said.
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 big prize won by CT Lottery players. Other winners of prizes of $10,000 or more include:
