Regarding the procedure to file a claim for a lost (trashed) ticket(s), does anyone know what info has to be provided on the form?

If they want the date you bought it, the location where you bought it, and the six digit number(s) on the ticket(s), then I'd say you're toast as far as getting a refund goes.

I know the date I bought mine (all 3 were losers in both draws) and I know where I bought them. But if I had to tell them the six digit numbers on all three of them??? FUHGEDABOWDIT... [ More ]

Someone who purchased tickets for the drawing and won a prize in the Jan 1 drawing might not have their tickets either.

Usually when you cash in a winning ticket, you go to a lottery retailer and present the ticket to the clerk. They take the ticket and scan it. It says, CONGRATULATIONS and you get your cash.

The clerk doesn't usually give you back the lottery ticket after it's been cashed. It goes into the trash can.

How would you know if you won another prize in the second drawing? I... [ More ]

They've got a procedure to file a claim for lost tickets.

In some cases they may be able to get video of the purchase, but how many places will still have the video from purchases that could have happened as early as October 1st? Some people will be able to say where they bought the tickets, but how long ago that was will be a major factor again. Who's going to remember now whether they bought a ticket on October 25th or November 5th? Of course people who bought multiple tickets at the same t... [ More ]

To the best of my knowledge, there was no Super Draw Raffle in July of 2017. If there was one, I didn't hear about it, because if I had, I'd have gotten in on it.

More than that though, IMHO, due to the fiasco with this raffle, they've probably already decided that there will not be any more Super Draw raffles. G5

That would be nuts if that did happen. Hopefully that 2nd 1 million winner kept their ticket. Do you know if they had a 4th of July Super Draw last year? I hope they have one this year so I can use my wins to buy more tickets before they expire. In CT, you have 180 days before your ticket expires.

So here's the million dollar question: Did the person who won the top prize of $1,000,000 in the second drawing throw their ticket away because they checked it on January 1st and were told it did not win???

Lord I hope not, but it might have happened. G5

I purchased 8 tickets total. Won $100 on the first draw and $200 on this second draw. I wish I could have won more but it was fun. Ill definitely play again buying more tickets if they do the July 4th Super Draw.

Million-dollar winner is one of the tickets excluded from the first drawing

16 tickets won prizes in both drawings

The Connecticut Lottery Corp. held a do-over drawing Tuesday morning to partially correct a $1.375 million blunder that happened Jan. 1, when nearly half of the eligible tickets in the New Year's Million-Dollar Super Draw game 100,000 out of the 214,601 sold at $10 each were excluded from the drawing.

The electronic drawing was conducted without apparent problems by a team... [ More ]
