Waterbury resident wins $50K Powerball prize with ticket sold in Cheshire
WATERBURY, CT — A Powerball ticket sold at a Cheshire liquor store turned into a $50,000 win for a Waterbury resident following Wednesday’s drawing.
The winning ticket, purchased at Super Wines & Liquors, matched four numbers and the Powerball, securing the third-tier prize in the October 23 drawing. Connecticut Lottery officials confirmed the $50,000 win on their website. The winner has not yet been identified.
Powerball drawings are held three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday, with prizes ranging from $4 to multimillion-dollar jackpots. Matching four numbers plus the Powerball is one of the highest prizes available without hitting the jackpot.
Super Wines & Liquors, located in Cheshire, joins a growing list of Connecticut retailers that have recently sold winning tickets, contributing to a surge in high-dollar lottery wins across the state in recent weeks.
Winners of prizes above $5,000 in Connecticut are subject to mandatory state and federal tax withholdings.
