About Play 4Here are some of the Constitution State’s biggest lottery wins, including nine-figure Powerball jackpots and a Lotto record.
This huge prize was claimed by the Putnam Ave. Family Trust, consisting of Gregg Skidmore, Brandon Lacoff and Tim Davidson. There was an air of mystery surrounding the payout, as media reports suggested the three asset managers had been employed by the real winner to claim on their behalf – thus preserving their anonymity. The Trust opted to take the lump sum of $103 million.
The Connecticut Lottery celebrated its 50th anniversary year in style with this mighty payout. The winning ticket was bought in Cheshire, at the One-Stop store located at 914 Main Street. The prize was claimed by a winner known only as R.K., and few other details were disclosed apart from their decision to take the cash offer of $123.9 million before taxes. Remarkably, someone from Stratford, CT, also won $25,000 a year on Lucky for Life on the same night.
After more than a year and a half without a winner, one lucky player landed a record Lotto payout worth more than $25 million. They had bought their ticket at Stop & Shop at 44 Lake Avenue Extension in Danbury, and came forward less than two weeks later to claim their prize. The winner was revealed to be Danbury man William McLaughlin, who decided to take the cash lump sum of $21.3 million.
Prizes won in draw games like Mega Millions, Powerball, Lotto, Cash5 and Lucky for Life expire 180 days from the date of the drawing. If you win a prize on a scratch game, you have 180 days from the announced end-of-game date to claim your winnings.
If you're lucky enough to win more than $5,000, 24 percent of your prize will be withheld for federal taxes and the State of Connecticut will levy a tax of 6.99 percent.
You can only stay anonymous as a big winner if you produce a valid court-issued protective order or an Address Confidentiality Program authorization card. However, you can also claim through a legal trust to shield some details about your identity.
Depending on the value of your prize, there are a number of ways to claim.
You can redeem winnings of this value at any authorized Connecticut Lottery retailer. All prize amounts up to $50,000 can also be claimed via mail – see below for details.
For prizes worth between $600 and $5,000, you can claim your winnings at a High-Tier Claim Center or at the Lottery Headquarters in Wallingford. Just bring the winning ticket and two forms of ID, such as a driver's license or a state ID.
Claim by mail up to $50,000. If you win a prize worth $50,000 or more you'll need to claim at the lottery office in person.
Players can claim all prizes of less than $50,000 by mail. Send your signed original ticket and two types of ID with your signature (e.g. driver's license or passport), one of which must be a photo ID, to:
CT Lottery Claims Dept.
15 Sterling Drive
Wallingford, CT 06492
High-Tier Claim Centers are located in Bridgeport, Hartford, New London, Norwalk and Waterbury, where you can collect prizes up to $5,00 if you do not wish to claim by mail. Larger amounts must be claimed at the CT Lottery Headquarters in Wallingford
The Connecticut Lottery was established in June 1971 through Public Act no. 865 after Representative John Miscikoski championed legislation proposing the establishment of a state lottery for almost a decade. The first tickets went on sale in February 1972 and more games were introduced in the following years. Ticket sales for Powerball began in November 1995 and the state joined Mega Millions in 2010. March 2012 saw the premiere of Lucky for Life, which became a successful interstate lottery game before it was replaced by Millionaire for Life in February 2026.
Today, 28 cents of every dollar raised through Connecticut Lottery ticket sales is allocated to the state's General Fund, which helps provide vital funding to state services such as public health, hospitals, education, human services and conservation and development.
