Vernon CT Lottery Player Nabs Top Prize In Draw Game

EAST GRANBY, CT — A Vernon CT Lottery player cashed in a six-figure prize this week in a popular nightly draw game.

The player, identified just as "winner" in accordance with the CT Lottery's privacy policy, cashed in the ticket for the top Cash5 prize of $100,000 on Thursday. The ticket was purchased at the Phillips 66 station near Bradley International Airport in East Granby.

Cash5 is a pari-mutuel game with a top prize of $100,000. It was the second six-figure win out of the station and third prize of more than $20,000 since mid-August.
