4s Are the Numbers — Again — In Daily Lottery Game

ROCKY HILL, CT – For the second time in less than six months, the number 4-4-4 was drawn in the “Play3 Day” drawing, generating the third-largest prize payout for this triple-digit number, officials said.

It happened on Wednesday.

Statewide, 3,171 winning wagers were sold for the Play3 Day game’s Dec. 12 drawing. After all winning claims are presented, $1,283,100 in prize money will be paid out by the CT Lottery for this drawing.

Since the Play3 Day game began, 4-4-4 has been drawn a total of 12 times in the daily drawing with the last combination picked on June 29, officials said. Because Play3 prize payouts are based upon the amount wagered, players who had 4-4-4 on their Play3 Day tickets can expect to win from $25 up to $2,500 per wager in prize money.

Though the bulk of the winners will most likely redeem their tickets in the next few days, players with winning tickets have 180 calendar days from the date of draw to collect their winnings, officials said.

High-Tier Claim Centers are able to cash CT Lottery prizes up to $5,000.

Play3 Day drawings are held daily at 1:57pm. Tickets cost from 50 cents to $5.
