Connecticut lottery questions

What lottery games can you play in Connecticut?
Mega Millions and Powerball, plus Connecticut Lottery's own draw games and scratch tickets. We publish the multi-state analysis and the Connecticut rules; Connecticut Lottery's own draw games are not in our database yet.
Does Connecticut sell Power Play and Double Play?
Both. Each costs $1 a play on top of the $2 ticket, so a full Connecticut line is $4. We price Power Play at about 46 cents per dollar and Double Play at about 53 cents.
How much tax does Connecticut withhold from lottery winnings?
6.99%, held back before the cheque is written and on top of 24% federal withholding. Withholding is not the final bill. The calculator works out what you would actually keep.
Which Connecticut lottery game has the best odds?
Mega Millions, at 1 in 23.07 of winning something — though the prizes are correspondingly smaller, and winning often is not the same as winning much. A scratch game is a different proposition again: the best on sale in Connecticut now returns about 79 cents on the dollar.
Where do these Connecticut numbers come from?
The multi-state games are cross-checked against several official sources before we publish them. Every source is listed here. The Connecticut rules on this page were read from powerball.com and Connecticut Lottery on 2026-09-22.
