Pomfret Resident Strikes Gold with $1M Scratch Ticket

A resident of Pomfret has become a millionaire after scratching a winning CT Lottery ticket. The $1 million prize comes from the now-concluded $1,000,000 GOLD game. The winner, who chose to remain unidentified, described his disbelief upon revealing the winning amount, even getting out of his car to pace.

He mentioned a unique good luck ritual of rubbing his tickets on his dog. The substantial winnings are earmarked for practical future investments: constructing a garage and securing his one-year-old daughter's educational fund. The winning ticket was purchased from the Brooklyn Xtra Mart located on Providence Road. Sales for this particular game have ceased, and winning tickets must be redeemed by January 9, 2027.
