West Haven man hits $25K top prize on $250,000 Cashword ticket
West Haven, CT – A quick scratch at a local Krauszers Food Store turned into a $25,000 payday for John G, who claimed a top prize from the Connecticut Lottery’s popular $250,000 Cashword scratch-off game.
The win was confirmed Monday, following the August 25 purchase at the Krauszers located in West Haven. John G bought a $250,000 Cashword ticket and revealed one of the game’s $25,000 top prizes. The Cashword series remains one of the state’s best-selling scratch games, known for multiple top-tier prizes and a crossword-style format.
This is one of several recent wins reported out of West Haven, a city that has seen a streak of medium- to large-tier prize claims over the summer. The $250,000 Cashword game offers players a chance to win up to $250,000, but also includes multiple $25,000 prize levels — one of which now belongs to John G.
The retailer, Krauszers Food Store, has previously sold other winning tickets and may receive a bonus from the lottery for selling a top prize ticket.
All Connecticut scratch-off winners have 180 days from the game’s official end date to claim their prize. The CT Lottery encourages players to check their tickets carefully and sign the back immediately to ensure proper prize redemption.
