$50K Mega Bucks win for lucky player at Centerbrook Store in Ivoryton
IVORYTON, CT — A routine stop at a Centerbrook convenience store turned into a $50,000 windfall for one Connecticut Lottery player who hit big on a Mega Bucks ticket earlier this week.
The winning ticket was sold at Centerbrook Store 132, located in the Ivoryton section of Essex. The Connecticut Lottery confirmed the prize was claimed Monday by a player who matched enough numbers to secure the $50,000 payout. The winner has not been publicly identified.
Mega Bucks is one of the state’s draw-style games, known for its fixed prize structure and long-standing popularity among lottery regulars. The $50,000 win is one of the larger non-jackpot prizes and typically results from matching several numbers without securing the full jackpot.
Centerbrook Store 132 will also receive a bonus for selling the winning ticket, as part of the Connecticut Lottery’s retailer incentive program. The store has now joined the list of local businesses that have sold significant prize-winning tickets in 2025.
This win adds to a growing list of recent Connecticut Lottery payouts as players across the state continue to cash in on scratch-offs and draw games alike.
