January has been a lucky month for Connecticut lottery players, with a high volume of big wins, and the pace has only escalated this week. Since Monday, six players have won prizes of $100,000 or more, and another player won $25,000 a year for life, which could mean winnings in the six digits depending on the winner's longevity.

The Connecticut Lottery confirmed the win on Monday, with the ticket earning a $100,000 prize thanks to a winning combination that included the Power Play multiplier. The lucky winner, a resident of Wethersfield, purchased the ticket at the wine and spirits store located on Windsor Avenue.
