Here’s who got lucky with the lottery last month
The biggest prize won in a CT Lottery game was from a ticket bought at a South Windsor package store.
Stephen Dimaria of Avon bought the lucky $3 million Royale ticket at the South Windsor Cordial Shoppe.
The game’s top prize is a $3 million annuity, but Dimaria decided to take a lump sum of $2.3 million.
Brian Pineau of Naugatuck won $300,000 — the second biggest prize last month — on a $3 million Royale ticket sold at Fulling Mills Deli and Grocery in Naugatuck.
