Tuesday CT Lottery Lotto Drawing Yields $5.4 Million Jackpot

CONNECTICUT — A CT Lottery player had a six-number match that turned into a $5.4 million jackpot in the Lotto game Tuesday night.

Now CT Lottery officials need to know who it was.

According to CT Lottery officials, out of the 7,289 winning tickets sold for the Feb. 16 Lotto drawing, one contained a six-number match. The $5.4 million prize has a lump-sum value of $4,776,772, CT Lottery officials said.

The numbers drawn were 2 - 10 - 14 - 20 - 22 - 29.

The jackpot-winning ticket was sold at Terryville Mobil, 121 Main St., in Terryville. For its part in selling the winning ticket, Terryville Mobil will receive a $10,000 retailer commission.

The Lotto jackpot is won by matching all six winning numbers drawn. A Lotto ticket costs $1 and players select six numbers between 1 and 44, or they can ask for a Lotto "Quick Pick" to let the CT Lottery computer randomly pick their numbers.

The overall odds of winning a Lotto prize are 1 in 39.3 and the odds of winning the jackpot are approximately 1 in 7.1 million.

Lotto drawings are staged every Tuesday and Friday at 10:38 p.m.
