In January, several Connecticut Lottery players won $100,000 from playing Cash 5. The largest Connecticut Lottery prize claimed in January was $4 million claimed by a Tolland man who purchased the $50 ticket while stopping at a different gas station than his usual on his way to work, according to Connecticut Lottery.

He watched the numbers. He followed the pattern. Then everything clicked. A Danbury man who calls himself a “numbers guy” scored the $2 million top prize in the CT Lottery’s “$2,000,000 Jackpot” scratch game.

A top CT Lottery prize has been won out of Manchester.
