Bridgeport residents bought a CASH5 ticket that paid $100,000, state officials said.

The same amount was won on a $5 scratch‑off ticket sold in Manchester, as the agency confirmed.

The Connecticut Lottery also carried out its standard drawings for Mega Millions and Lotto on June 26, 2026, releasing the winning numbers later that day.

Officials said the game will be available at retailers statewide beginning next week, promising added fun for local bettors.
