So much winning. Lottery headquarters reaches capacity for ticket processing.

by Kevin Rennie


More troubles at the Connecticut lottery. The agency announced on it website Monday that it could process no more winning tickets. The announcement remained on its website early Tuesday morning.

A critical element of the sale of lottery tickets is that winners—who beat formidable odds—will be able to redeem their tickets at will. Lottery administrators appear to have lost the plot on this. Earlier this year the lottery’s new point-of-sale machines were unable to accurately scan tickets.

A $2 million winning PowerBall ticket was sold in Connecticut several weeks ago. Paying out a rare big prize may have upended daily life at the lottery’s new Wallingford headquarters.
