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.
