Norwalk man hits $1 million lottery prize at local variety store

A single scratch transformed a routine stop in Norwalk into a million-dollar milestone for one lucky player.

NORWALK, Conn. — A lucky lottery player in Norwalk is now $1 million richer after scoring big on the Connecticut Lottery’s Titanium scratch-off ticket, officials announced Monday.


Key Points

  • Luis O of Norwalk wins $1 million from Titanium scratch-off
  • Winning ticket sold at In And Out Variety on Connecticut Avenue
  • Payout delivers $25,000 a year for 40 years before taxes

The winner, identified as Luis O from Norwalk, purchased the ticket at In And Out Variety, a local retailer known for selling scratch-off games. The $1 million prize comes from the Titanium ticket, a game offering one of the Connecticut Lottery’s highest prize levels.

Rather than a lump sum, the prize will be paid out in annual installments of $25,000 over 40 years, prior to tax deductions.

Winning location adds another high-tier prize to its record
