The largest Powerball ever won in Connecticut was in 2011, when a lottery player from Greenwich scored the $254.2 million winning ticket.
The last time a Connecticut Powerball lottery player won, though, was in Seymour back in June 2012. That time, the winning ticket was worth $60 million.

The Powerball lottery winner wasn't the only one who struck big on Monday.
Another lottery player nabbed the winning ticker for the Lucky for Life "$25,000 a Year for Life" game. The player purchased the ticket at a 24/7 Express in Stratford.
Both players have until August to claim their winnings.
