GLASTONBURY, CT — Two big wins in the CT Lottery have been recorded this week out of Glastonbury.

On Monday, a player named "Holly W", of Glastonbury, cashed in a tixket purchased from Glastonbury Mobil worth $10,000 from the $100,000 Cashword 12 game.

Also on Monday, an East Hartford player named "Marc F" cashed in a $10,000 winner from the same game purchased at Champion Shell in Glastonbury.

The CT Lottery has changed its policy on announcing winners in order to "protect" them from potential scams. For years, the CT Lottery policy had been to show the full names of all those who cashed in tickets worth $10,000 or more as a matter of public record. It then went to winners having the option of applying for anonymity over the past couple of years. Wednesday morning's update had eliminated all first names and replaced them with just first names and last initials while keeping the anonymity option.
