BREAKING: A lucky woman from Meriden, Connecticut, has made history by winning a staggering $500,000 Powerball Double Play prize, marking a remarkable first for the state. The Connecticut Lottery Corporation confirmed this exciting win just moments ago, stating it was her very first experience playing the CT Lottery.
The fortunate winner expressed her disbelief, saying, “This is my first time playing CT Lottery.” She recounted how she had never participated in Powerball before and needed assistance from the clerk at H&H Mart on Broad St. in Meriden. “He asked if I wanted an add-on, and I asked what he recommended. He said Double Play, so I bought the add-on,” she revealed.
In an impressive stroke of luck, she matched all five black balls in the Double Play drawing: 47, 17, 19, 53, and 61. While she missed the chance to secure the $10 million top cash prize by not matching the Powerball number, the $500,000 win is set to change her life.
Plans for the windfall are already taking shape. The winner intends to use her newfound wealth to pay off her mortgage and celebrate her daughter’s upcoming wedding, adding a personal and emotional touch to this incredible story.
The Connecticut Lottery Corporation is urging players to check their tickets, as this significant win highlights the life-changing potential of lottery games. Keep an eye out for the next Powerball drawing, which could bring more excitement and potential winners.
This remarkable victory underscores the thrill of participating in lotteries and the joy that comes with unexpected fortune. Stay tuned for further updates as we follow this story and the impact it has on the Meriden community and beyond.
