They determined it affected around 300 transactions that weren’t validated accurately as either winning or non-winning tickets.

Players who checked to see if their ticket was a winner at a retail site or by scanning it on the mobile app might have gotten an incorrect result.

Any player who tried to cash a ticket at retail or scanned a ticket on the app and still has the ticket is urged to contact the CT Lottery at info@ctlottery.org.

If you no longer have your ticket, you can contact the CT Lottery so the claim can be researched further.
