CT Lottery Fever! Another Lucky Winner Scores $25,000/Year FOR LIFE!
Connecticut is on a winning streak! Another lucky lottery player in CT has won the "Lucky for Life" prize, securing $25,000 a year for the rest of their life. This marks the fourth winning ticket sold in Connecticut this month alone, fueling lottery excitement across the state.
Where Was the Winning Ticket Sold?
The winning ticket from Tuesday's drawing was purchased at Alltown Fresh Bolton, located at 129 Boston Turnpike in Bolton. The winning numbers were 5-6-8-17-36, and the Lucky Ball was 12. While the winner matched five numbers, they missed the Lucky Ball. Still a fantastic prize!
More Winners Across the State
This lucky win follows a string of recent successes in Connecticut. On August 26th, a Waterbury resident also claimed a $25,000 a year for life prize, purchasing their winning ticket at Brass City Mini Market Deli Food LLC in Waterbury. Additionally, there were winners on August 23rd and August 12th. The August 12th winner, who purchased their ticket at Sunshine Convenience Store in Cheshire, has yet to claim their prize.

What Are the Winner's Options?
The latest winner has a choice to make: receive $25,000 a year for life as an annuity or opt for a one-time cash payment of $390,000. It's a life-changing decision either way!
Lucky in North Dakota Too!
It's not just Connecticut experiencing lottery luck. A player in Minot, North Dakota, recently won the same $25,000 a year for life prize. Lottery officials encourage all players to check their tickets carefully and sign the back immediately.
