Lottery participants across the state of Connecticut have had their tickets put to the test following the conclusion of the Monday, Sept. 14, 2026 drawings. The Connecticut Lottery administers a wide array of gaming options ranging from multi-state jackpot drawings to localized daily numbers, giving players numerous chances throughout the week to wager for cash prizes.
Leading the slate of Monday evening drawings was the multi-jurisdictional Powerball game, which garners widespread interest from lottery players nationwide. The winning white ball numbers selected in the Sept. 14 drawing were 19, 20, 57, 61, and 67. The designated red Powerball number was 22, and the Power Play multiplier drawn for non-jackpot prize tiers was 2.
In addition to national offerings, the state-level Cash 5 drawing also yielded a new set of winning digits on Monday night. The five winning numbers selected for the Sept. 14 Cash 5 game were 11, 12, 14, 15, and 35. This daily drawing offers an alternative localized betting format for residents seeking top cash payouts on a recurring basis.
The lottery's twice-daily numbers games also produced full results for both daytime and nighttime sessions. For the Sept. 14 Play 3 game, the midday drawing produced the sequence 2-3-0, accompanied by a Wild Ball number of 2. Later that evening, the nighttime Play 3 drawing revealed the combination 1-4-8, with a Wild Ball of 5.
Simultaneously, participants tracking the four-digit daily options saw the midday Play 4 drawing yield the winning sequence 2-3-9-5, featuring a Wild Ball number of 9. During the subsequent evening drawing, the nighttime Play 4 winning line was drawn as 9-8-2-3, with the Wild Ball drawn as 1. The inclusion of the Wild Ball mechanic across both Play 3 and Play 4 allows players additional opportunities to match winning combinations.
The comprehensive roster of games offered by the Connecticut Lottery extends beyond these specific Monday drawings. Enthusiasts participating in the state have access to a portfolio that includes the localized CT Lotto, Cash 5, and Millionaire for Life, alongside popular multi-state draw games like Powerball and Mega Millions. Each game provides unique structures and entry costs tailored to various player preferences.
Following the announcement of winning numbers, ticket holders must follow distinct operational protocols depending on the size of their winnings. For smaller prizes of up to $599, the redemption process remains direct and straightforward. Winners are permitted to redeem tickets at any authorized CT Lottery retailer without the need for supplementary documentation, or they may alternatively choose to submit their winning tickets through the mail.
Mid-tier payouts require slightly elevated procedures depending on the exact value involved. For prizes ranging from $600 to $5,000, players are provided multiple submission pathways. These prizes can be claimed via postal mail, or winners can present their tickets in person at any designated CT Lottery High-Tier Claim Center or directly at the official CT Lottery Headquarters.
For higher prize distributions falling between $5,001 and $49,999, the claiming guidelines narrow to ensure secure verification. Ticket holders winning amounts in this bracket are required either to mail in their claims or to appear in person at the Connecticut Lottery main headquarters to complete the necessary processing and payout procedures.
When prizes surpass the major threshold of $50,000, claim rules become strictly in-person. The Connecticut Lottery mandates that all top-tier windfalls exceeding $50,000 must be claimed in person directly at the organization's central headquarters, preventing remote redemption for major winnings to ensure strict security and compliance.
Regardless of whether a prize is claimed in person at a high-tier facility or at the central headquarters, winners receiving larger amounts must present specific credentials. Official protocol demands that claimants provide a valid government-issued photo identification along with their Social Security card to successfully verify identity and fulfill legal administrative standards.
All in-person visits for major claims and high-tier validations are directed to the Connecticut Lottery Claims Department, located at 15 Sterling Drive in Wallingford, CT 06492. Players seeking additional details regarding the operation of regional High-Tier Claim Centers, as well as instructions for mail-in prize forms, can review official guidance hosted by the lottery's dedicated claim information resources.
The Connecticut Lottery conducts its variety of drawings on a precise, predetermined weekly timetable. For large multi-state offerings, Powerball drawings take place three times a week on Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m., while Mega Millions numbers are selected at 11:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Friday nights.
State and regional daily games adhere to separate evening schedules. The Lucky for Life drawing occurs every night at 10:30 p.m., closely followed by the daily Cash 5 drawing at 10:29 p.m. In addition, the Millionaire for Life game concludes the late-night slate with its daily drawing scheduled for 11:15 p.m.
The state-specific CT Lotto holds its drawings twice per week on Tuesday and Friday evenings at 10:38 p.m. Meanwhile, the twice-daily Play 3 and Play 4 games maintain uniform daytime and nighttime schedules seven days a week, conducting their midday draws promptly at 1:57 p.m. and their evening draws at 10:29 p.m. Players holding tickets from Sept. 14, 2026, or any preceding dates, are encouraged to consult official payout tables to confirm prize eligibility.
