$4 Million Lotto Win For Hartford Man Playing Scratch-Off Game

HARTFORD, CT — A Hartford man's recent trip to the gas station proved to be a lucrative endeavor ... for both the man and the gas station.

That's because the man scratched off a $4 million grand prize on a "$4,000,000 Fortune"scratch-off game, which costs $50 to play.

The ticket was purchased at the Mobil gas station on Weston Street in Hartford, the Connecticut Lottery Corp. announced Thursday.

In a news release Thursday, lottery officials said the player "had to count the number of zeros revealed in front of him after scratching the first few rows. It was six."

According to CT Lotto, the winner said he has 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, wrote lottery officials.

According to the lottery corporation, the man said he plans to use his winnings to “reset his life” by pursuing a higher education degree.

For selling the winning ticket, Mobil will receive a $40,000 bonus, wrote CT Lotto.
