BREAKING: A Connecticut woman has made history by winning a staggering $500,000 Powerball Double Play prize on her very first attempt, according to the Connecticut Lottery Corporation. This remarkable win marks her as the first in the state to secure such a significant prize through this lottery option.
The winner, a resident of Meriden, expressed her disbelief, stating, “This is my first time playing CT Lottery.” As she recounted her experience, she said, “I’ve never played Powerball, so the clerk was helping me buy the ticket. He asked if I wanted an add-on, and I asked what he recommended. He said Double Play, so I bought the add-on.”
In an exciting twist of fate, she matched all five black balls in the Double Play drawing, which were 47, 17, 19, 53, and 61, winning her the incredible prize. The Connecticut Lottery Corporation highlighted that had she also matched the Powerball number, she could have won a whopping $10 million top cash prize.
The winning ticket was purchased at H&H Mart on Broad Street in Meriden. This win is not just life-changing but also comes at a perfect time, as the new winner plans to use her winnings to pay off her mortgage and celebrate her daughter’s upcoming wedding.
