Multiple Big Lottery Prizes Sold Across Northeast US

Several lottery winners across different states recently claimed significant prizes from various games. In Virginia, James Lipscomb won $205,001 on a Cash 5 with EZ Match ticket, planning to use the money for home upgrades and sharing with family and church. Connecticut saw two substantial wins: a $25,000 prize from a $1,000,000 Gold scratch ticket in Hamden and a $33,918 CASH 5 prize in Wallingford, with the state lottery now omitting full winner names to prevent scams. Massachusetts reported multiple big wins, including a $20,000 prize from the $25,000,000 Mega Money scratch game in Tewksbury, which still has three top prizes remaining, and a $10,000 win from the 50X scratch game in North Andover, where several other large prizes were also recently claimed. These recent wins highlight ongoing player success and the precautions lotteries are taking to protect winners' identities.
