NEWINGTON, Conn. (WTNH) — When someone hits it big on a lottery win in Connecticut, it’s not just the customer that goes home with something.
The store that sold the winning ticket gets a “retailer bonus” too.
So when Stop & Shop in Newington sold a million-dollar scratch game ticket in April, the company got a $10,000 pay out from CT Lottery.
On Wednesday, company leaders announced they’re donating those winnings to Newington School District to cover unpaid meal balances for the current school year and help with next year.
The company plans to present a check to the district at Anna Reynolds Elementary School Thursday morning.
