The CT Lottery is committed to the responsible sale and play of its games. Unfortunately, there are dishonest individuals and groups who make their living by operating scams designed to trick people into thinking they’ve won a Lottery prize. Their goal is to convince victims to provide personal information or pay fake "processing fees" and “taxes” through a wire transfer or money order. Unless you specifically entered a CT Lottery promotion, you will never be contacted by the CT Lottery informing you that you have won a prize. If you did not purchase a Lottery ticket, or enter a CT Lottery 2nd Chance drawing, you cannot win a prize.
Please contact us to send photos (front and back) of your ticket for review. If your ticket is a scratch ticket, please be sure that the latex is completely scratched off the face of the ticket before taking a photo and sending to us. In order to verify that your ticket was paid properly, please email us photos of your ticket, the Retailer's name and address, and the date and approximate time of your ticket transaction. Please be sure to include any other information or details about the transaction that may be helpful. Upon receipt of your email and its review, we will be right back in touch with you with our findings.

The CT Lottery is unable to provide tax advice. For information regarding gambling income and losses, visit the Internal Revenue Service website at http://www.irs.gov or consult with a personal tax adviser.
Questions involving taxes, state assistance, or Social Security require individual answers, and the CT Lottery cannot provide financial or legal advice. Winners should consult a qualified financial professional, attorney, or the Department of Social Services or the Social Security Administration for information on how winning a prize may affect them.

No, winners cannot remain anonymous. A winner's name, hometown, date of claim, game name, prize amount, and the Retailer name/location where the winning ticket was purchased are considered public information. A winner of a prize $10,000 or more may request to have their name removed from our Winners List web page, at the time of claim, or by following the instructions below. However, winner information may still be disclosed pursuant to a Freedom of Information Act request, unless the winner produces a valid protective order or Address Confidentiality Program authorization card.

Generally, Draw Game tickets cannot be cancelled. However, tickets for Play3 or Play4 may be cancelled ONLY by the Retailer's lottery terminal where the ticket was printed and only BEFORE the pool for that drawing is closed. Draw Game tickets purchased from a Lottery vending machine can never be cancelled.
Yes, to buy tickets for future drawings select the “Advance Action” option on your playslip or ask any CT Lottery Retailer for Advance Action. Please note, when playing Advance Action, fill out only one board (set of numbers) per playslip. (i.e. To play four sets of numbers in advance, fill out four separate playslips.)
Yes, just ask for a Quick Pick ticket for any CT Lottery Draw Game.
Using a playslip saves time and will ensure that the numbers you selected are the ones played. A playslip can produce up to 5 plays and can be saved and reused for regular weekly purchases.
Yes, Lottery drawings are open to the public for viewing. If you are interested in attending a drawing, please contact the CT Lottery Security Department at 860-713-2715 at least 24 hours before the drawing, and we will make arrangements for you to attend.

The “Overall Odds” represent your likelihood of winning any prize in a specific game. For instance, if a scratch game has overall odds of 1 in 4, it indicates that, on average, approximately 1 out of every 4 tickets should secure a prize. It's important to note that these odds are calculated by dividing the total number of tickets in the game by the total number of tickets that are actual prize winners. However, because prizes are randomly distributed throughout the entire game, it does not guarantee that every fourth ticket in a pack will be a winner.

EXAMPLE:
Total tickets in the game: 1,000,000
Divided by total tickets that are prize winners: 250,000
Equals the Overall Odds: 1 in 4

This information can be found in the SCRATCH game section of our website or on our mobile app. You can also can ask any CT Lottery Retailer for a "Remaining Top Prizes" terminal report.

The CT Lottery may end a Scratch game for various reasons. The primary reason for ending a game is that the last top prize has been claimed, at which point the CT Lottery instructs retailers to remove all tickets from their dispensers and self-service machines. Other reasons for ending a Scratch game may include, but are not limited to:

  1. Depletion of Ticket Inventory: If there is no remaining ticket inventory to be distributed, the game may be ended. This can include a scenario where a game has an unclaimed top prize.
  2. Decline in Sales Levels: If sales levels drop below an acceptable range, the CT Lottery may choose to end a game. This is done to replace it with a new game that customers may find more appealing.
  3. Quality Control Issues: If significant quality control issues affecting player satisfaction are identified (e.g. difficult to scratch, poor print quality), the CT Lottery may decide to end the game.

These measures are implemented to ensure the integrity, appeal, and player satisfaction of the lottery games.

Select a game listed in the SCRATCH section of our website and it will tell you if a game end date has been established and its expiration date. This information is also available on our SCRATCH GAMES TABLE list. (Please note, if a Scratch Game has ended, and is past the last day to claim a winning ticket, the game will no longer appear among the games listed on this website.) You can also ask a Lottery Retailer for a “Game Ended” report, which will show a ticket’s expiration date, or access this information on the Lottery’s mobile app.
No. Once a winning Scratch Game ticket expires it is no longer valid for claim, and the game will no longer appear among those listed on this website.
The distribution of winning Scratch tickets is designed to be random and unpredictable. The process involves scattering prizes throughout the entire print run using a random number generation system. Neither the lottery nor the ticket printing vendor knows where the winning tickets are placed, ensuring a double-blind system.
Once Scratch Game tickets are printed, they are shipped to our warehouse in packs for distribution. The ticket packs are randomly selected for shipment, and retailers receive them in a random order, based on their orders. This randomness in the distribution process is intended to maintain the integrity and fairness of the lottery system. 
The perception that certain areas have more winning tickets is attributable to chance and sales volume. If more tickets are purchased in a particular area, it naturally follows that there would be more total winners in that area. Additionally, retailers who sell a significant number of tickets are more likely to receive packs with winning tickets simply due to the higher frequency of replenishing their inventory with new ticket packs.
For game security and integrity, the CT Lottery is prohibited from researching requests from the public as to where specific active Scratch ticket packs are located within the Retailer network. This is to ensure a fair and equal chance of winning for all who play our Scratch games.  

From time to time, the CT Lottery may offer a Scratch Game with a 2nd Chance Drawing opportunity. These Scratch Games are clearly marked with a “2nd Chance” drawing logo on the front of the ticket, and “How to Enter” instructions on the back. To see a list of those games, please visit the 2ND CHANCE DRAWINGS section on our website.

The CT Lottery works within the international Lottery industry and relies on suppliers within the industry for its game designs.  Individuals who are interested in putting forth new games should consult with industry experts.  To protect your product or intellectual property you should also seek appropriate legal advice from a professional.  The CT Lottery does not compensate individuals for game ideas or designs that are submitted for consideration.  Any ideas submitted become the property of the CT Lottery.

If you are unable to find the winning numbers for the KENO game you played on the CT Lottery website, it may be due to the gaming system's periodic updates. The CT Lottery gaming system typically refreshes its content every 5 minutes. However, on rare occasions, there may be delays in updating the website as scheduled.

In such instances, try  waiting a few minutes and then check again, as the winning numbers should eventually update and post to the web. Alternatively, you ask any CT Lottery retailer for a "Winning Numbers" report, which is available off their Lottery terminal. This can provide you with the most up-to-date information about the winning numbers for the KENO game you played.

Power Play is an add-on feature available for an additional cost of $1 per wager. This feature offers the chance to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, 5, or 10 times. (The 10 times multiplier is available for selection for jackpots of $150 million or less.) The Power Play number is randomly selected just before each drawing.
 

The odds of matching only the Powerball number involve a combination of two probabilities:

1. Not matching any white ball numbers; and
2. Matching only the Powerball number.

When these two probabilities are considered together, the odds of matching only the Powerball number are calculated to be 1 in 38. This takes into account the specific combination of events required to achieve this outcome, rather than a straightforward 1 in 26 chance, which might be expected based on the total number of Powerball numbers.
No. Although Powerball is a multi-state game, Powerball tickets must be claimed in the same state or jurisdiction in which they were purchased.

Powerball is a multi-state lottery game that is offered in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Visit powerball.com for a current listing of participating states.

The Megaplier® is an add-on feature available for an additional cost of $1 per wager. This feature provides the opportunity to multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2, 3, 4, or 5 times. The Megaplier number is randomly selected just before each drawing.
The odds of matching only the Mega Ball number involve a combination of two probabilities:

1. Not matching any white ball numbers; and
2. Matching only the Mega Ball number.

When these two probabilities are considered together, the odds of matching only the Mega Ball number are calculated to be 1 in 37. This takes into account the specific combination of events required to achieve this outcome, rather than a straightforward 1 in 25 chance, which might be expected based on the total number of Mega Ball numbers.

No. Although it is a multi-state game, Mega Millions tickets must be claimed in the same state or jurisdiction in which they were purchased. 

Mega Millions is a multi-state lottery with 45 participating states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands. Visit megamillions.com for a current listing of participating states.
The Lotto! jackpot starts at $1,000,000, and then grows based on the total sales levels for each drawing. As more people purchase tickets, the jackpot accumulates and grows.
The discrepancy in your prize compared to what you expected may be due to the way Lotto! prizes are calculated. Lotto! prize amounts are based on the expected number of winners sharing the prize pool. In some cases, prizes are paid on a pari-mutuel basis. Pari-mutuel means that the prize pool is divided among all the winners, and the prize amount for each winner depends on the total number of winners in each prize level.
Winners of the Top Prize or Second Prize in Lucky for Life have the choice to receive a one-time cash lump sum payment instead of the lifetime annuity payments. The "For Life" prizes are guaranteed for a minimum of 20 years. The lump sum option for the Top Prize is $5,750,000 (before taxes), and for the Second Prize, it is $390,000 (before taxes).
In the event of an annuity prize winner's death, the Lottery will make any remaining guaranteed payments to the winner's estate or beneficiary as directed by court order or other governing document. Please call the CT Lottery's Finance Department at 860-713-2650 to report the death of annuity prize winner. 

No. Although it is a multi-state game, Lucky for Life tickets must be claimed in the same state or jurisdiction in which they were purchased.

Lucky for Life is a multi-state lottery with 22 participating states and the District of Columbia. Visit luckyforlife.us for a current listing of participating states.

The "Kicker" is an optional add-on feature that costs an extra $.50 per wager at the time of purchase. Adding the Kicker option to your ticket increases your opportunity to win prizes. If you added the Kicker (K) to your ticket and the Kicker (K) number on your ticket matches one of the Cash5 winning numbers drawn, and you also match 1, 2, 3, or 4 of the other winning numbers drawn, you win a Cash5 + Kicker prize. To view Cash5 + Kicker Prizes and Odds, click here.

Example 1
Cash5 numbers printed on your ticket: 4-10-14-18-30 K: 12 Y
Winning Cash5 numbers drawn: 5-12-14-20-30

In this example, you won because your ticket’s Kicker number (12) matched a winning number and you also matched one of the other 5 winning numbers drawn. 

Example 2
Cash5 numbers printed on your ticket: 4-10-14-18-30 K: 22 Y
Winning Cash5 numbers drawn: 5-12-14-20-30

In this example, you did not win because your ticket’s Kicker number (22) did not match a winning number and there’s no prize for matching only one of the winning numbers drawn. 
The Kicker (K) number is not drawn; it is an extra number printed on every Cash5 ticket. You can choose your ticket’s Kicker number at the time of purchase or the Lottery terminal can randomly select a Kicker number for you. An active Kicker number will have a “Y” next to it. There will also be a message at the bottom of the ticket that reads KICKER ACTIVE. A Kicker number that is not active will have an “N” next to it. There will also be a message at the bottom of the ticket that reads KICKER NOT ACTIVE. 
Cash5 is a "pari-mutuel" game, which means that all prize winners share equally in the available prize pool monies for that drawing. The money that is available in the prize pool is based upon daily ticket sales. If ticket sales are not sufficient, the prize pool is divided equally, top prize winners will receive less than $100,000 for their win, and all other prize levels in that game will also experience reduced payouts for that drawing.
The Wild Ball is an extra feature you can add to your Play3 ticket to increase your chances of winning a prize. Adding the Wild Ball feature doubles the cost of your wager. After each Play3 drawing, a Wild Ball number (0-9) is randomly drawn. If you added the Wild Ball feature to your ticket, this number can be used to replace one of the winning numbers drawn by the Lottery, creating more winning combinations for you. (Reminder: The Wild Ball number doesn't replace a number on your ticket; instead, it replaces one of the Play3 winning numbers drawn by the Lottery.)

Example 1
Your Play3 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-8
Winning Play3 numbers: 1-2-3 & Wild Ball number: 8
Winning Play3 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 8-2-3, 1-8-3, 1-2-8
In this example, you won! Your Play3 numbers (1-2-8) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3) but the Wild Ball number 8 created a winning combination of 1-2-8 that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.  

Example 2
Your Play3 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-8
Winning Play3number: 1-2-3 & Wild Ball number: 4 
Winning Play3 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 4-2-3, 1-4-3, 1-2-4

In this example, you did not win. Your Play3 numbers (1-2-8) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3) and the Wild Ball number 4 did not create a winning combination that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.


To win a FRONT, SPLIT or BACK PAIR wager, the player picks only two numbers (at the time of purchase) to match two of the three winning numbers drawn - in exact order. When a Pair wager is made, an X will print on your ticket in the position where no number match is required for a prize win. 

Pair Wager Examples
  FRONT: 1-2-X
  SPLIT: 1-X-2      
  BACK: X-1-2
When a "Combo" wager is purchased, the Lottery terminal automatically plays your three digits STRAIGHT in all possible number combinations, all on one ticket.

Combo Wager Examples
6-Way Combo: 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 2-3-1, 3-1-2, 3-2-1, 2-1-3, 1-3-2
3-Way Combo: 1-2-2, 2-1-2, 2-2-1
The Lottery cannot pay out more than $7,950,000 (the liability threshold) for a specific number combination in a single drawing. If the liability threshold is met, the Lottery limits sales of that number combination for that drawing.
The Wild Ball is an extra feature you can add to your Play4 ticket to increase your chances of winning a prize. Adding the Wild Ball feature doubles the cost of your wager. After each Play4 drawing, a Wild Ball number (0-9) is randomly drawn. If you added the Wild Ball feature to your ticket, this number can be used to replace one of the winning numbers drawn by the lottery, creating more winning combinations for you. (Reminder: The Wild Ball number doesn't replace a number on your ticket; instead, it replaces one of the Play4 winning numbers drawn by the lottery.)

Example 1
Your Play4 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-3-8
Winning Play4 numbers: 1-2-3-4 & Wild Ball number: 8
Winning Play4 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 8-2-3-4, 1-8-3-4, 1-2-8-4, 1-2-3-8
In this example, you won! Your Play4 numbers (1-2-3-8) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3-4) but the Wild Ball number 8, created a winning combination (1-2-3-8) that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.  

Example 2
Your Play4 (Straight) numbers: 1-2-3-6
Winning Play4 numbers: 1-2-3-4 & Wild Ball number: 8 
Winning Play4 numbers with Wild Ball number combinations: 8-2-3-4, 1-8-3-4, 1-2-8-4, 1-2-3-8

In this example, you did not win. Your Play4 numbers (1-2-3-6) did not match the winning numbers drawn (1-2-3-4) and the Wild Ball number 8 did not create a winning combination that matched the numbers printed on your ticket.


When a "Combo" wager is purchased, the Lottery terminal automatically plays your four digits STRAIGHT in all possible number combinations, all on one ticket.

Combo Wager Examples
24-Way Combo: 1-2-3-4, 1-2-4-3, 1-3-2-4, 1-3-4-2, 1-4-2-3, 1-4-3-2, 2-1-3-4, 2-1-4-3, 2-3-1-4, 2-3-4-1, 2-4-1-3, 2-4-3-1, 3-1-2-4, 3-1-4-2, 3-2-1-4, 3-2-4-1, 3-4-1-2, 3-4-2-1, 4-1-2-3, 4-1-3-2, 4-2-1-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-1-2, 4-3-2-1
12-Way Combo: 1-2-3-3, 1-3-2-3, 1-3-3-2, 2-1-3-3, 2-3-1-3, 2-3-3-1, 3-1-2-3, 3-1-3-2, 3-2-1-3, 3-2-3-1, 3-3-1-2, 3-3-2-1
6-Way Combot: 1-1-2-2, 1-2-1-2, 1-2-2-1, 2-2-1-1, 2-1-2-1, 2-1-1-2

The Lottery cannot pay out more than $7,950,000 (the liability threshold) for a specific number combination in a single drawing. If the liability threshold is met, the Lottery limits sales of that number combination for that drawing.
Fast Play is a category of games with instant cash prizes. Fast Play games play like Scratch games but are printed on-demand from a CT Lottery Retailer’s terminal or a Lottery Ticket Vending Machine. Fast Play games are offered at various price points and play styles. It is fast and easy, no numbers to pick, no playslip to fill out, and no drawing to wait for.
Fast Play game tickets are generated at the time of purchase with a set of numbers/symbols on it. Players follow the instructions on the ticket by matching their play numbers/symbols to the winning numbers/symbols to see if they won.
Fast Play Progressive games are a family of games that share the same name, appearance and playstyle, but are available at different price points, and each game in a family contributes to ONE progressive jackpot. The progressive jackpot begins with a set minimum value. Once the minimum value is fully funded, the progressive jackpot grows with each ticket sold statewide until someone wins. The progressive jackpot then resets to the minimum value or is reduced by the prize amount won, whichever is greater, and begins to grow again after the minimum value is funded. Each Fast Play progressive ticket is eligible to win a percentage of the progressive jackpot. The ticket price (wager amount) you play determines the percentage of the progressive jackpot you could win. For Example: A $1 ticket wins 20% of the progressive jackpot; a $2 ticket wins 40% of the progressive jackpot and a $5 ticket wins 100% of the progressive jackpot.

Each Fast Play game has its own set of play instructions, printed on the ticket.  For example, if the play instructions say, “Within a GAME: Match ALL 3 of YOUR NUMBERS to any of the WINNING NUMBERS, win the prize shown for that GAME,” and you match all 3 numbers in that game and "PROGRESSIVE TOP PRIZE" is the prize symbol for that game, you win the progressive jackpot.  Each Fast Play progressive ticket is eligible to win a percentage of the progressive jackpot. The ticket price of the game you play determines the percentage of the progressive jackpot you would win

If the Fast Play Progressive family of games has a $1 game, a $2 game, and a $5 game:

  • $1 game wins 20% of the progressive jackpot
  • $2 game wins 40% of the progressive jackpot
  • $5 game wins 100% of the progressive jackpot

    If the Fast Play Progressive family of games has a $2 game, a $5 game, and a $10 game:
  • $2 game wins 20% of the progressive jackpot
  • $5 game wins 50% of the progressive jackpot
  • $10 game wins 100% of the progressive jackpot 

  • All CT Lottery tickets can be checked on a Lottery Ticket Checker at any CT Lottery Retailer, a Lottery vending machine or by downloading our free CT Lottery Mobile App. Using the Mobile App’s ticket scanner, you can scan the barcode on any CT Lottery ticket to see if it is a winner.
