Play3 “Triples” Thrill Thousands of Winners Two Nights in a Row

Triples have struck back-to-back in the CT Lottery’s highly popular Play3 game – delivering thrilling wins to lucky players. The Luck of the Irish was with players on Sunday, March 17, when the drawing was 1-1-1 with the Wild Ball of 1. Then, on Monday, March 18, lucky number 7 ruled the night when the drawing was 7-7-7 with the Wild Ball of 7. These drawings resulted in over $3.5 million in prizes for over 13,000 players.

Play3 and Play4 are the most popular lottery games with approximately 1.5 million tickets sold each day. Adding the Wild Ball feature provides even more opportunities to win. Players who add the Wild Ball can use it to replace one of the numbers drawn by the Lottery, boosting their chances of winning a prize.

While many winners are expected to claim their prizes in the next few days, the CT Lottery reminds players that they have 180 calendar days from the date of draw to collect their winnings. The CT Lottery encourages all winners to redeem their tickets promptly.
