Loteria scratch off winner cashes ten thousand dollar prize in Columbia
Columbia, CT – A small-town convenience store in eastern Connecticut is celebrating after selling a winning scratch-off ticket that delivered a $10,000 payout, lottery officials confirmed.
The winning LOTERIA scratch-off ticket was sold Friday at the Country Farm Store in the Moosup section of Columbia. The ticket matched the required symbols to claim the $10,000 prize.
LOTERIA is a scratch-off game modeled after the traditional card game, offering players the chance to match images for cash prizes. Connecticut Lottery officials say winning tickets are distributed randomly, meaning retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold in advance.
Winners are reminded to sign the back of their ticket immediately and claim prizes within the timeframe set by the Connecticut Lottery. All lottery prizes are subject to applicable state and federal taxes.
