The winning ticket was sold at Food Fare, a local grocery and convenience store that benefits from lottery-related commissions and increased customer traffic tied to winning ticket sales.

The $30 High Roller Progressive game is one of the higher-tier Fast Play options offered by the Connecticut Lottery, with larger buy-ins contributing to faster-growing jackpot pools. The $30,000 payout reflects the progressive nature of the game, which builds until a winning ticket is issued.
