2 Popular CT Lottery Games Getting Added Features

CONNECTICUT — The CT Lottery Monday will debut an add-on feature to its Play3 and Play4 games called "Wild Ball."

The Wild Ball is an extra number that is drawn by the CT Lottery at each drawing and increases a player's chance of winning by creating more winning combinations, officials said.

The Wild Ball can be used by the player to replace any one of the numbers drawn by the CT Lottery to create more chances for the player to win, officials said. The Wild Ball replaces a drawn ball. The Wild Ball does not replace a player's number on a ticket, officials said.

Adding the Wild Ball feature doubles the cost of a Play3/Play4 wager.

CT Lottery officials said, using Play3 as an example, if a player purchases a straight wager ticket with the Wild Ball add-on, and one selects 2-5-3, and the Lottery draws 1-5-3 as the winning numbers with the Wild Ball number 2, the player would win. The winning combinations for this Straight wager with the Wild Ball addition would include: 1-5-3; 2-5-3; 1-2-3; 1-5-2.

The Play3 and Play4 games are played by matching a three-digit (Play3) or four-digit (Play4) number drawn in various combinations. The drawings for each game are conducted separately.
