Connecticut's lottery scene is abuzz with excitement as a $1 million winning Powerball ticket was confirmed by the Connecticut Lottery.

The fortunate winner chose their numbers for Monday night's drawing and remarkably matched all five numbers on the white balls, missing only the Powerball number.

The winning numbers from the drawing were 5, 8, 9, 17, and 41, with the Powerball number being 21.

Alongside the $1 million prize, a remarkable 35,318 winning tickets with varying prizes were also sold in the state.
