In Connecticut, the cost of a single ticket for the Lotto game typically ranges from $1 to $5, depending on the selected play type and the amount wagered. Lotto offers various play options, including Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Pairs, Combo, and Sum, each with its associated costs. Players can select their preferred play type and manually choose their numbers or opt for a Quick Pick, where the numbers are randomly generated by the lottery terminal. The ticket cost may vary based on the specific play type chosen and the number of draws selected in advance.

Zero prize amounts

In Connecticut Lotto, there are typically no prizes awarded for matching zero numbers. Since the objective is to match numbers drawn in specific combinations, failing to match any numbers means that the player did not win a prize. In Lotto, players select six numbers from a pool of 1 to 44 (or 1 to 48, depending on the version of the game) and win prizes by matching various combinations of the drawn numbers, including matching all six numbers in the exact order (Straight), any order (Box), or combination of both. If none of the player’s selected numbers match the winning numbers drawn, they do not win a prize.

Multipliers

In Connecticut Lotto, there are typically no multipliers available. Unlike some other lottery games that offer multipliers to increase non-jackpot prizes, Lotto is a straightforward game where players select six numbers and win prizes by matching various combinations of the drawn numbers. Players can choose from different play options, such as Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Pairs, Combo, and Sum, each offering different prize amounts based on the selected play type and wager amount. However, multipliers are not part of the Lotto game structure in Connecticut.

Bonus/extra draws

In Connecticut Lotto, there are typically no bonus or extra draws beyond the main weekly draw. Lotto is a weekly lottery game where players select six numbers from a pool of 1 to 44 (or 1 to 48, depending on the version of the game) and have the chance to win prizes by matching various combinations of the drawn numbers. Each week, there is a single draw held on specified days. Players can purchase tickets for the draw, and there are no additional bonus or extra draws beyond the scheduled weekly draw. The results of the main draw determine the winning numbers and prize payouts for that week’s Lotto game.
