Simsbury Powerball player wins $1 million on ticket sold at local gas station

SIMSBURY, CT — A Powerball ticket sold at a Simsbury gas station turned into a $1 million payday for one lucky player following Wednesday’s drawing.

The winning ticket, purchased at Pride #614 in Simsbury, matched five numbers but missed the Powerball, securing the game’s second-tier prize. Connecticut Lottery officials confirmed the win and listed the prize amount as $1,000,000.

The identity of the winner has not yet been released. Powerball winners in Connecticut have the option to remain anonymous when claiming prizes through legal entities or trusts.

This marks one of the state’s largest Powerball wins of the month and comes amid growing national jackpot totals. The ticket was sold on October 23, the day of the drawing.

Powerball is played in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, with drawings held every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday.
