East Hartford convenience store sells fifty thousand dollar scratch off winner

East Hartford, CT – A quick stop at a neighborhood 7-Eleven turned into a major payday after a scratch-off ticket delivered a $50,000 prize, Connecticut Lottery officials confirmed.

The winning ticket was sold Friday at 7-Eleven Store #15033C in East Hartford. The ticket was part of the 200X 4th Edition scratch-off game and carried a prize value of $50,000.

The 200X 4th Edition is a higher-price scratch-off game offering multiple large cash prizes. Lottery officials note that tickets are distributed randomly statewide, meaning retailers are unaware of where winning tickets will be sold until prizes are claimed.

Winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and follow Connecticut Lottery claim procedures. All lottery prizes are subject to applicable state and federal taxes.

Key Points

  • A $50,000 scratch-off ticket was sold in East Hartford
  • The winning ticket came from the 200X 4th Edition game
  • The ticket was purchased at a local 7-Eleven store
