Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a "Wild Ball" in Play 3 and Play 4?
The Wild Ball is an extra number drawn that can replace any of your numbers to create more winning combinations. It gives you **more ways to win! Think of it like a "wild card" in card games.
2. Can I buy lottery tickets online in Connecticut?
Currently, the Connecticut Lottery does not sell tickets online. You must buy them at authorized retailers (convenience stores, gas stations, etc.) across the state.
3. How long do I have to claim a prize?
In Connecticut, you have 180 days (about 6 months) from the drawing date to claim your prize. After that, the money goes back to the state for future prizes and programs.
4. What happens if I lose my winning ticket?
Without a signed ticket, you cannot claim a prize. The ticket is the only proof. That’s why we strongly recommend signing the back immediately after purchase!
5. Do I have to pay taxes on lottery winnings?
Yes. For prizes over $5,000, the CT Lottery automatically withholds:
- 24% federal tax
- 6.99% Connecticut state tax
You may owe more (or get a refund) when you file your tax return. Consult a tax professional for big wins!
Good luck if you’re playing! Remember: the lottery is entertainment, not an investment. Never spend money you can’t afford to lose.
