Shelton Powerball ticket wins $50,000 prize at Scooter’s Deli Mart

SHELTON, CT — A Powerball player in Shelton matched four white balls and the red Powerball to win $50,000 in the January 20 drawing, according to the Connecticut Lottery.

The winning ticket was sold at Scooter’s Deli Mart in Shelton. While the winner has not yet been publicly identified, the prize tier confirms a match of four numbers plus the Powerball — one step away from the jackpot. The odds of winning this $50,000 prize are 1 in 913,129.

The Powerball drawing on Saturday featured winning numbers that did not result in a jackpot winner, pushing the grand prize higher for the next draw. Players have 180 days from the draw date to claim their prize in Connecticut.

The next Powerball drawing is scheduled for Wednesday night, with an estimated jackpot of $209 million.
