Lottery participants across Connecticut have a fresh set of winning numbers to review following the multi-game drawings held on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026. The Connecticut Lottery operates a diverse slate of daily and bi-weekly drawings, catering to players seeking both local jackpots and massive multi-state cash prizes.
Among the premier offerings for the evening was the multi-state Mega Millions drawing, which continues to draw substantial interest statewide. For the Sept. 15 drawing, the winning Mega Millions numbers selected were 27, 36, 43, 57, and 58, with the Mega Ball recorded as 16. Mega Millions drawings are held twice every week, providing players across participating jurisdictions recurring opportunities to compete for substantial payouts.
Connecticut's dedicated in-state jackpot game, the CT Lotto, also held its scheduled drawing on Tuesday evening. The winning sequence drawn for Lotto was 01, 03, 17, 19, 33, and 35. Lotto offers a classic draw format specifically for state residents and lottery participants, with recurring drawings conducted every Tuesday and Friday night.
Players participating in the daily Cash 5 game also saw their latest numbers selected during Tuesday's evening cycle. The winning combination for the Sept. 15 Cash 5 drawing was 02, 05, 19, 26, and 29. Cash 5 is structured to provide daily gameplay, maintaining consistent participant engagement throughout the week.
The Connecticut Lottery's popular twice-daily numbers games delivered winning combinations for both afternoon and evening players. For the Play3 game, the daytime drawing produced the sequence 7-0-3 with a Wild Ball of 1, while the evening Play3 drawing resulted in the numbers 1-2-3 with a Wild Ball of 5. The Wild Ball mechanism offers an additional dimension of play for ticket holders across both sessions.
Similarly, the Play4 game conducted its two standard daily selections on Sept. 15. The daytime Play4 drawing yielded the numbers 1-5-4-0 alongside a Wild Ball of 2, and the nighttime Play4 drawing generated the combination 9-0-3-5 with a Wild Ball of 4. Like Play3, Play4 is drawn every single day in both the early afternoon and late evening.
Completing Tuesday's draw results was the Millionaire for Life game. The winning selection drawn for Sept. 15 consisted of 05, 06, 14, 36, and 38, with a Bonus number of 03. This game represents another high-tier prize opportunity held on a nightly schedule for lottery enthusiasts.
Beyond the specific games drawn on Tuesday, the Connecticut Lottery manages a broader gaming portfolio that includes the national Powerball game and the multi-state Lucky for Life game. These offerings give ticket buyers in Connecticut a continuous rotation of state-level and national lottery options throughout the calendar week.
Ticket holders holding winning entries must follow specific administrative redemption procedures established by the Connecticut Lottery. The redemption protocol is structured around the monetary value of the prize won, ensuring orderly and verified payouts for all winners.
For smaller prizes amounting to $599 or less, the redemption process remains direct and straightforward. Winners can present their tickets at any authorized CT Lottery retailer without having to submit supplementary forms or documentation, or they may choose to claim their winnings through the mail.
Prizes falling in the mid-range bracket, between $600 and $5,000, offer multiple claiming avenues. Players who secure these amounts can collect their payouts by submitting a mail-in claim, visiting an authorized CT Lottery High-Tier Claim Center in person, or traveling directly to Connecticut Lottery Headquarters.
For larger payouts spanning from $5,001 up to $49,999, claimants are required to submit their winning tickets by mail or handle the transaction in person specifically at the Connecticut Lottery Headquarters. This centralized oversight helps maintain security and compliance for higher-value redemptions.
Any prize exceeding $50,000 requires an in-person visit to CT Lottery Headquarters; these top-tier payouts cannot be processed through standard mail-in claims. To complete any high-level redemption in person, claimants are formally required to present a government-issued photo identification card along with their Social Security card.
The Connecticut Lottery Claims Department is located at 15 Sterling Drive in Wallingford, CT 06492. Players seeking details regarding High-Tier Claim Center locations, payout breakdowns, or past drawing archives are directed to utilize the official Connecticut Lottery claims platform.
