NEWINGTON, CT — A KENO ticket sold in Newington has delivered a $13,500 prize to a lucky winner from New York, lottery officials confirmed.

Ria G of Ossining, NY, claimed the winning ticket, which was purchased at 786 Newington Grocery LLC in Newington. The ticket matched enough numbers to earn a $13,500 payout from the Connecticut Lottery’s fast-paced draw game.
