While no one hit the Powerball jackpot for the Wednesday, Jan. 4, drawing, the Connecticut Lottery reports that one lucky layer matched the first five numbers drawn and won $2,000,000 on a winning ticket purchased at Cumberland Farms #4740 at 1101 Post Road in Fairfield.
"Because the winning ticketholder added the Power Play option to their ticket, the normal prize of $1,000,000 was automatically doubled to $2,000,000," according to the CT Lottery.
Players for the January 4 drawing have 180 calendar days, or until July 3, 2023, to claim their winning tickets.
