HARTFORD MAN HITS THE $4,000,000 JACKPOT PLAYING CT LOTTERY SCRATCH GAME
WALLINGFORD, Conn. — May 1, 2025 — He had to count the number of zeros revealed in front of him after scratching the first few rows. It was six.
That’s how one Hartford man described the moment he realized he had just won the top prize in the CT Lottery’s “$4,000,000 Fortune” scratch game. The winning ticket was sold at the Mobil gas station on Weston Street in Hartford.
The winner says he’s been a fan of “$4,000,000 Fortune” since its debut in December 2023. Since then, the man has regularly played and is thrilled that his loyal pursuit of the top prize finally paid off.
The man says he plans to use his CT Lottery winnings to “reset his life” by pursuing a higher education degree.
For selling the winning ticket, Mobil will receive a $40,000 bonus—one of the many benefits of being a CT Lottery retail partner.
Congratulations to the lucky winner!
