PLANTSVILLE, CT — A routine stop at a local Citgo turned into a massive payday for one Connecticut lottery player after a $2,000,000 MEGA MULTIPLIER scratch-off ticket was sold in the Plantsville section of Southington, officials confirmed.

The winning ticket was purchased on May 29, 2026, at a Citgo location in Plantsville, according to lottery records.

The prize totals $2,000,000, marking one of the larger scratch-off wins reported in the state.
