BREAKING: A Connecticut woman has made history as the first person in the state to win a staggering $500,000 Powerball Double Play prize. This incredible win was confirmed by the Connecticut Lottery Corporation earlier today.
The lucky winner, from Meriden, expressed her shock: “This is my first time playing CT Lottery. I’m still in disbelief.” In an unexpected twist, she revealed that she had never played Powerball before. “The clerk was helping me buy the ticket and recommended the Double Play add-on,” she shared, highlighting the serendipity of her victory.
According to the Connecticut Lottery Corporation, she matched all five black balls in the Double Play drawing: 47, 17, 19, 53, and 61. Had she also matched the Powerball number, she could have taken home the top cash prize of $10 million. The winning ticket was purchased at H&H Mart on Broad St. in Meriden.
This life-changing windfall is set to have a profound impact on her life. The winner intends to use her prize money to pay off her mortgage and celebrate her daughter’s upcoming wedding. “It’s a blessing at the right time,” she said, reflecting on the financial relief and joy the win brings to her family.
This remarkable win is generating excitement across Connecticut, making headlines and sparking conversations about luck and fortune. The Connecticut Lottery Corporation encourages residents to participate responsibly in their games, as the odds of winning big are challenging but not impossible.
