CT Lottery Player Wins $1M from Scratcher

A Connecticut Lottery player has become $1 million richer after winning the top prize from one of the lottery’s scratch-off games.

The Player Won One of the Three Top Prizes

The CT Lottery has minted a new millionaire after a ticket-holder in the state bought a scratch-off ticket worth a million dollars.

According to the lottery’s announcement, a player in Guilford purchased a $20 200X 4th Edition ticket, only to find themselves with one of the few tickets winning the game’s top prize. This was notably the second top prize to find its way to one of the CT Lottery players.

The lottery said that the winning ticket was sold at the City Star Mart on 500 Boston Post Road in Guilford.

The player beat odds of 1 in 800,000 to win the prize, according to official CT Lottery statistics. According to the lottery’s official website, one of the three top prizes remains unclaimed, providing another player with the chance to become a millionaire.

In addition to the $1 million top prizes, the game featured 4 prizes of $100,000, only one of which currently remains unclaimed.

The overall odds of winning any prize from the 200X 4^th Edition game, including break-even prizes, are 1 in 3.21.
