Some lucky customer of the Gulf station at 287 Danbury Rd. who purchased a Lotto! ticket for the Friday, Jan. 10, 2025 drawing is now $10.8 Million richer.
The CT Lottery confirmed a ticket that was sold at PVC Gulf, located at the corner of Danbury Rd./Rte. 7 and Ridgefield Rd./Rte. 33, contained the six-number match worth $10.8 million. There were 8,166 winning tickets sold for the Friday, Jan. 10, 2025 Lotto! drawing, but only one that matched all six winning numbers: 4-27-32-37-40-44.
The winner will be able to choose annuity payments over 21 years or a lump sum of $7,785,757.
A little bit of the winner’s luck rubbed off for the owner of PVC Gulf — because the business was the location where the winning ticket was purchased, the station’s owner will receive a $10,000 retailer selling bonus.
According to CT Lottery, the overall odds of Lotto! are 1 in 39.3. Jackpot odds are 1 in 7,059,052.
The last time someone hit a Lotto! jackpot was in January of 2024 ($1.7M) and the last time there was a larger multi-million dollar jackpot won in Connecticut was Sept. 29, 2023, with an advertised jackpot of $9.4M.
