Connecticut’s keeping the winner’s name under wraps, as usual. Neighbors in Shelton and folks all over the area are buzzing about the win.

A Shelton resident wins $100,000 Cash5 prize

The winning numbers on Thursday were 9, 21, 23, 27, and 30. A Cash5 ticket costs $1, and you pick five different numbers from 1 to 35.

If you hit all five, you get the $100,000 prize before taxes. Odds of pulling that off? About 1 in 324,632. That’s a long shot for a buck, but hey, someone’s gotta win.

The prize-winning ticket was sold at the Noble Gas station in Monroe. Officials confirmed where and when it sold, but didn’t say much else about the winner or the store.

Since last October, Connecticut’s Lottery policy means winners stay anonymous unless they say otherwise. So, unless this person decides to step forward, they’re just a mystery for now.

How Cash5 works and what the top prize represents

Cost and play structure: Cash5 keeps it simple—$1 per play, five numbers, 1 through 35. Get them all, and you’re walking away with $100,000 before taxes.

Odds of matching all five? About 1 in 324,632. That’s why it feels like such a big deal when someone actually wins.

Players from all over Connecticut try their luck, not just folks near Monroe. Prizes pop up in small towns and big cities alike.

People from Shelton, Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Haven, Norwalk, Danbury, Stamford, and Hartford all take a shot at these draws.

Privacy rules shape how CT Lottery reports winners

Since last fall, the state doesn’t name winners unless they give the green light. For this one, the Connecticut Lottery just shared the ticket’s sale location and numbers. No personal details, no extra statements from officials or the gas station.

That’s the state’s way of keeping prize winners safe while still letting everyone know when big wins happen.

What to watch for and next steps

Cash5 asks you to pick five numbers from 1 to 35. You can try your luck with multi-draw plays or quick-pick options—Connecticut retailers offer both.

If you’ve got a winning ticket, don’t forget to check the Lottery’s official rules about claiming deadlines. There may be some regional quirks worth knowing about.

The recent Shelton-to-Monroe connection proves how a single ticket can reach beyond just one town. It’s wild to think one lucky draw can ripple through entire communities.
