$50k prize sold at connecticut convenience store

$50K Powerball ticket sold in Rocky Hill still unclaimed

Rocky Hill, CT – A Powerball player in Rocky Hill struck it big this week, winning $50,000 on a ticket sold at Road Runners convenience store—but so far, no one has stepped forward to claim the prize.

The winning ticket, sold for Wednesday’s Powerball drawing, matched four of the five white balls plus the red Powerball number—good for a $50,000 payout. Connecticut Lottery officials confirmed the ticket was purchased at the Road Runners store in Rocky Hill, a regular spot for local lottery players.

The December 11 draw didn’t produce a jackpot winner, but the Rocky Hill ticket was one of several nationwide to claim a secondary prize. The winning numbers for that night’s drawing were 1, 24, 27, 31, 62 and Powerball 20.

Lottery officials are reminding players to check their tickets carefully, especially those purchased in Rocky Hill in recent days. Winners have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize.

Powerball drawings are held every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET, offering jackpots that regularly climb into the hundreds of millions. While the Rocky Hill win isn’t a life-changer like the grand prize, it’s still a hefty sum that’s more than enough to get attention.
