$3 Million Mega Millions Ticket Sold At Granby Convenience Store

GRANBY, CT — A $3 investment in a multi-state lottery game proved to be a financial bonanza for a Granby resident who won $3 million.

The winner purchased the 7-figure prize-winning Mega Millions ticket at the Cumberland Farms store at 19 Hartford Ave. The winnings were claimed Tuesday, according to the CT Lottery website.

The winner's name was not revealed in the CT Lottery's updated public listing of wins of $10,000 or more.

Spokesperson Tara Chozet said, "Winners have the option of not having their name listed on our website. In the past, our system was set up so that in order to remove a name, we had to remove the entire entry, meaning it looked as though a prize was still out there. We updated the system so that we can still remove the winners' names, but keep the information about the game, date of claim, and prize amount public."

Chozet added that winners' names may be made available via Freedom of Information requests.
