The prize at stake is a substantial $50,000, but winners must adhere to the Connecticut Lottery’s rule that requires all draw game prizes to be claimed within 180 calendar days from the drawing date.
The Connecticut Lottery authorities are anxiously searching for the possessor of a winning ticket from Sunday night’s draw, specifically from the Keno game, with The Brass Horse Cafe in Barkhamsted
A notification prominently displayed on the Connecticut Lottery’s website urges players to diligently scour for their potentially winning tickets, emphasizing, “You just may have a top prize winning ticket, but you’ll never know unless you CHECK YOUR TICKET.”
In Connecticut, only one other unclaimed prize lingers, valued at $10,000, but nationwide, an astonishing over a billion dollars in the Connecticut Lottery prize money goes unclaimed annually. Consequently, enthusiasts are encouraged to routinely inspect their tickets for overlooked windfalls.
The enigma of unclaimed prizes extends beyond Connecticut, as the Connecticut Lottery officials in Iowa remain perplexed by the lack of a claimant for a $2 million Powerball prize sold at Casey’s convenience store in Tiffin a month ago
The store’s uncanny luck continues with another unclaimed $200,000 prize from the latest weekend. Across the nation, uncollected riches include a $100,000 prize in Arizona, stemming from a ticket sold in an unconventional location, and two fortunate New Yorkers who are yet to claim their respective prizes of $50,000 each. The Connecticut Lottery underscores the critical importance of vigilant ticket checking to ensure that potential life-changing winnings do not slip through the cracks.
