Lucky Player From Windsor Cashes In On CT Lottery Scratch Ticket

WINDSOR, CT — A CT Lottery player from Windsor recently turned a $10 investment in a scratch ticket into a $25,000 payout.

Identified by lottery officials as Peter F, the man bought his winning Hot Millions ticket at the Phillips 66 gas station and convenience store on Route 20 in East Granby. He claimed his prize Tuesday, according to the lottery website.

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. A new policy enacted this spring eliminated all full names and replaced them with just first names and last initials.
