NEW HAVEN, CT — A Connecticut Lottery player hit it big with a $100,000 top-prize win on the Cash5 game, officials confirmed Monday.
The winning ticket was sold at Krauszers Food Store in New Haven and was claimed from the April 21 Cash5 drawing. The lucky player, whose identity has not been released, matched all five numbers drawn to secure the $100,000 prize.
The Cash5 game is a nightly draw game offered by the Connecticut Lottery, with a fixed jackpot of $100,000 for players who match all five winning numbers.
Winners are encouraged by lottery officials to sign the back of their tickets immediately and store them in a safe place until claiming their prize. Connecticut law generally requires lottery winners to be publicly identified.

The Connecticut Lottery has not yet provided additional details on whether the $100,000-winning ticket has been officially claimed. Players have 180 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes for Cash5 and other draw games.
Krauszers Food Store, where the winning ticket was sold, may be eligible for a retailer bonus for selling a top-prize-winning ticket.
