A scratch off lottery player from Bridgeport scoops a big jackpot recently

An unnamed Bridgeport resident is $100,000 richer this week after claiming a winning lottery ticket purchased locally, the Connecticut Lottery announced.

On Feb. 16, the person claimed a winning Hot Millions ticket bought at Turind LLC on East Main Street.

The Connecticut Lottery publishes partial winner information as public record, according to officials.

The game, which costs $10 per ticket, began in August 2022, and as of Friday, one grand prize of $1 million remained unclaimed, and one second-place prize of $100,000 also remained unclaimed.

More than 3.7 million game tickets have been printed, and the overall odds of winning are 1 in 3.49.
