Danbury resident Anthony Fajardo Salinas was the latest to claim a big prize after cashing in a "$100,000 Cashword 11" ticket on Monday, Aug. 2 that was sold at Sams Food in Bethel.

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.”

Salinas wasn't the only one feeling lucky; other recent winners of prizes topping $10,000, according to CT Lotto include:
