Willimantic man wins $50,000 top prize on CT Lottery scratch-off

Willimantic, CT – A Connecticut Lottery player from Willimantic has claimed a $50,000 top prize after playing the $50,000 Cashword scratch-off game, the state lottery confirmed Monday.

The winner, identified as Glenn M., purchased the ticket at RC Minimart LLC, located in Willimantic. He matched enough words on the popular crossword-style ticket to secure the full prize amount.

$50,000 Cashword is one of the Connecticut Lottery’s long-standing scratch-off games and regularly features multiple top prizes of $50,000. These tickets cost $3 and offer lower odds of winning the top prize, making each winning ticket a rare find.
