The Connecticut winner was actually one of six players across the country to land a $50,000 Powerball prize in the same drawing. According to the Connecticut Lottery, the odds of winning that amount are about 1 in 913,130.
If the lucky ticket holder is in Connecticut, there’s still time to cash in. Winners of draw games like Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash5, Lucky for Life, and others have 180 days from the drawing date to claim their prizes.
One important detail: any winning ticket worth $50,000 or more must be claimed in person at the Connecticut Lottery headquarters in Wallingford.
