$2 Million Winning Powerball Ticket Sold In CT: Check Your Tickets

CONNECTICUT — A ticket for Wednesday's Powerball game sold in Connecticut turned out to be the biggest winner nationwide — a cool 2 million bucks.

A ticket sold in Connecticut matched the five primary numbers, but not the Powerball. The undisclosed player did opt for the PowerPlay kicker, however, and that doubled a $1 million prize to $2 million, according to the CT Lottery.

No other tickets sold in the nation matched all five numbers. The jackpot was $255 million.

In all, Connecticut had 6,457 winning Powerball tickets for Wednesday's drawing:

• Four matched four numbers for $100
• Nine matched three numbers and the Powerball for $100 and five of those players had that total tripled because of the PowerPlay

The winning numbers for the Nov. 15 drawing are 3-4-51-53-60 and the Powerball is 6.

The next Powerball drawing is on Saturday, Nov. 18 and the jackpot is at $280 million with an estimated cash value of $128.6 million.

The two largest recent lottery winners in CT are a $200,000 winner sold at Waterbury Quick Mart and a $100,000 winner sold at the Torrington Cumberland Farms #4555. Both tickets were sold on Nov. 14 and the $200,000 winner came from the Powerball game and the $100,000 winner from the Pinball Wizard XXVII game.
