A Tolland resident who had to go to a different gas station to usual ended up winning the top prize on the $4,000,000 Fortune scratch game.

A Dreamy $2 Million Win
Dreaming of a lottery win is common, but on this occasion it actually turned out to be a sign of what was to come. A few days after having a dream that he won the lottery, a lucky player decided to buy a $30 Fabulous Fortune ticket from the Mobil store on Killingworth Road in Higganum. He described it as very emotional when he discovered that he had won $2 million, and outlined his plans to buy a house with the winnings.
Pomfret Player Wins $1 Million
A longtime player from Pomfret became a millionaire in July 2026 after winning the top prize in the $1,000,000 Gold scratch game. He had previously won three substantial prizes, although never more than $10,000, having used techniques such as rubbing his tickets on his dog for good luck. He claimed the money anonymously, using his nickname ‘Ernest’ on his ceremonial check. The winner added that he would use the money to build a garage and invest in his young daughter’s education.
