A change in gas stations made one Connecticut resident a whole lot richer, according to the CT Lottery.
“Phil was on his way to a job site when he stopped for gas at a Gulf station that could accommodate his trailer,” according to the CT Lottery. “That rainy Friday morning, he purchased the CT Lottery’s $4,000,000 Fortune scratch game.”
He later went to work early and decided to pass a bit of time, according to the CT Lottery.
According to the winner, “I had a half hour to kill before we clocked in, so I scratched the ticket. It said $4,000,000 and I started shaking. I scanned the QR code and everything was legit. I just kept shaking…I couldn’t believe it. I was a millionaire.”
The winning ticket was purchased “at Gulf Convenience Mart on Meriden-Waterbury Turnpike,” according to the CT Lottery.
“Mini Jacob, the store manager, says she was thrilled when she found out one of her customers won the big prize. ‘I love celebrating their wins and hearing their success stories.’ For selling the winning ticket, the store will receive a $40,000 bonus — one of the many benefits of being a CT Lottery retail partner.”
An award-winning CT catering group built a food empire called ‘exceptional.’ What’s coming next.
“The winner says he plans to invest his winnings and is also looking into taking a vacation,” the CT Lottery went on to say.
