There are five games on each $200,000 High Stakes Casino instant ticket with up to 24 chances to win. “In the first game, I had a matching pair of 23’s for a $15,000 win…and I was stunned! When I scratched the fifth game and found a matching pair of 3’s with an additional $10,000 prize, I couldn’t believe it!”
Felter arrived at CT Lottery headquarters in Rocky Hill today where she accepted a prize check for $17,081 (value after taxes). “This feels incredible. I’m going right to the bank!” Felter said.
