Quick stop in Newington turns into $50K Powerball win
NEWINGTON, Conn. — A routine stop at a local grocery store has turned into a $50,000 Powerball payday for one lucky player in Hartford County.
The winning ticket was sold at Newington Food Land in Newington for a recent drawing, according to lottery officials.
While the prize adds to a growing list of Powerball wins across the state, details about the winner were not released — which is standard in Connecticut, where lottery winners are allowed to remain anonymous.
Even without the jackpot, a $50,000 Powerball prize is a major score, often awarded for matching four numbers plus the Powerball.
For one player, that ordinary purchase has now paid off in a big way.
