Double Jackpot Day: Connecticut Lottery Hits Big Six-Figure Wins

Two Connecticut Lottery players hit it big on the same day—and the wins were no small change.

Here’s what went down:

• A Bristol resident scored a solid $280,831 after buying a Fast Play – $20 High Roller Progressive ticket at a local liquor store.
• Over in Newington, another lucky player grabbed a $100,000 prize from a $2,000,000 Mega Multiplier scratch-off.

Quick breakdown of the games:

• Fast Play winnings depend on how much you spend:
  • $1 ticket = 20% of the jackpot
  • $2 ticket = 40%
  • $5 ticket = 100%
• The Mega Multiplier ticket costs $20, and hitting $100K isn’t easy—the odds sit at about 1 in 675,000.

But that’s not all.

A former New Haven resident, now living in Missouri, also joined the winner’s circle this week. He picked up a $128,402 prize from a Casino Cash Progressive Fast Play ticket purchased in Madison.

? Feel-good moment: He plans to share part of his winnings with his daughter and newborn granddaughter.

Big takeaway?
Same day, multiple winners, and six-figure payouts—proof that sometimes luck really does come in waves. ?
