Where to Purchase Tickets

You can buy tickets at authorized Connecticut retailers—think grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores. Some folks in Norwalk and Manchester also use online ticket options, since Connecticut allows that now.

Just don’t forget: tickets need to be purchased before the cutoff, usually 9:50 p.m. ET on drawing nights.

If you’re thinking about playing, officials always remind everyone to play responsibly. As people like to say, “You can’t win if you don’t play, but you should only play what you can afford to lose.”

That advice hits home for regulars from Hartford to Mystic—and everywhere in between.
