Overview

Know as "Connecticut's Game of Choice", the Classic Lotto is a pick 6 lottery that has a jackpot starting at $1 million and growing. Belonging to the Iowa-based Multi-State Lottery Association (MUSL) member, the Connecticut Lottery Corporation (also known at CT Lottery) has been running since 1972. It is Connecticut's secondary jackpot game, as it participates in the multi-state MegaMillions Lottery. Using only printed balls and drawing machines for the in-house drawing games, such as Classic Lotto, the CT Lottery aims to have higher integrity than other controversial computerized draw games that some states use. 

Drawings are held on Tuesday and Friday nights (the same as MegaMillions), and offer winners a choice between annual or lump sum payments of cash. Previous winners have banked anything from $1 million up to $10 million, proving that Classic Lotto truly is Connecticut's game to play.
