Redding Powerball player wins $50K with ticket bought at Putnam Park Sunoco
Bethel, CT – A Powerball ticket worth $50,000 was sold at a gas station in Bethel and claimed by a Redding resident, according to the Connecticut Lottery.
The winning ticket for the September 8 Powerball drawing was purchased at Putnam Park Sunoco in Bethel. The ticket matched four of the five white balls plus the red Powerball, securing the third-tier prize.
The Connecticut Lottery confirmed the win but has not released the name of the ticket holder. A $50,000 prize typically results from matching four white numbers and the Powerball without the Power Play multiplier.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week—on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays—with jackpots often exceeding hundreds of millions. Tickets cost $2, with an additional $1 for the Power Play option, which can multiply non-jackpot prizes.
Winners in Connecticut have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim their prize. Any winnings over $5,000 are subject to federal and state tax withholdings.
