What time are the Connecticut lottery drawings?
Powerball is drawn
Monday, Wednesday and Saturday at 10:59 PM ET, and Mega Millions
Tuesday and Friday at 11:00 PM ET. Those times are the same everywhere the games are sold. Connecticut's own games draw on local time: daily numbers games often draw twice a day, midday and evening, while lotto-style games usually draw at night. Each game's page on Lottery Atlas shows its exact draw days and time, and our guide to
what time lottery drawings happen covers every game.

How old do you have to be to play the lottery in Connecticut?
You must be at least 18 years old to buy a lottery ticket in Connecticut, and retailers may ask for ID.
Can I remain anonymous if I win the lottery in Connecticut?
Partly. The CT Lottery will not publish your name without your written consent, but winner information can be released under a Freedom of Information request unless you have a court protective order or an Address Confidentiality Program card.
How much tax will I pay on lottery winnings in Connecticut?
Connecticut withholds 6.99% in state income tax from prizes that are reported to the IRS, whether or not you live in Connecticut. The federal government withholds 24% from prizes over $5,000. Withholding is only a prepayment: what you owe depends on your total income for the year, and most of a jackpot-sized prize is taxed at the top federal rate of 37%, so expect to owe more when you file. A tax professional can help you plan before you claim a large prize.
How long do I have to claim a lottery prize in Connecticut?
You have 180 days from the draw date to claim a draw-game prize in Connecticut, including Powerball and Mega Millions. Scratch-off tickets usually have their own deadline, often counted from the end of the game, so check the back of the ticket. Unclaimed prizes are forfeited. If you win a jackpot, ask the lottery how and when you choose between the cash option and the annuity, because the rules differ from state to state.
Where do Connecticut Lottery profits go?
Connecticut Lottery profits go mainly to the Connecticut General Fund. Prizes, retailer commissions and operating costs are paid first.
