Connecticut store sells fifty thousand dollar lottery winner
Stafford Springs, CT – A routine shopping stop in northeastern Connecticut delivered a major payout after a lottery ticket worth $50,000 was sold at a local grocery store, lottery officials confirmed.
The winning ticket was sold Monday at Big Y Express #118 in Stafford Springs. The ticket came from the Best Chance To Be A Millionaire scratch-off game and carried a prize of $50,000.
Best Chance To Be A Millionaire is a higher-tier scratch-off game offering multiple large cash prizes. Connecticut Lottery officials say winning tickets are distributed randomly, meaning retailers do not know where winning tickets will be sold until prizes are claimed.
Winners are advised to sign the back of their ticket immediately and follow Connecticut Lottery claim procedures. All lottery prizes are subject to applicable state and federal taxes.
