A lucky lottery player scoop big lottery prize worth $10K

An area resident is $10,000 richer after purchasing a winning lottery ticket this week in Shelton, according to the Connecticut Lottery.

On Tuesday, a Bridgeport resident won $10,000 playing a "PLAY4" game.

The winning ticket was purchased from Alhamwi Enterprises LLC in Shelton, according to the Connecticut Lottery.

The CT Lottery furnishes winner information as a public record.

The Connecticut Lottery only publishes names of people who win $10,000 or more, which officials claim is quite common.
