Plantsville Resident Just Misses Massive Lotto Payout

SOUTHINGTON, CT — A resident of the Plantsville section of Southington came up short this week playing a scratch-off lottery game, but it still turned out to be a decent investment.

According to the Connecticut Lottery Corp., the person purchased a "$20,000 A Year For Life 2nd Edition"game at the Plantsville Citgo gas station/convenience store at 960 Meriden Waterbury Turnpike on Monday, Feb. 3.

And while the player missed out on winning the top prize — $20,000 a year for the rest of their life, the 10,000 won playing the game represents a good investment for the $2 scratch-off.

According to the lottery corporation, the $10,000 prize is the second-highest available prize for the game, with only 10 prizes in that amount currently available statewide.

By comparison, there are only three available winners for the maximum prize available throughout the state, according to the lottery corp.
