3 of 4 top prizes remain on the $5 game, according to the lottery's published data.

August 18, 2026 · Connecticut

The Connecticut lottery's own prizes-remaining data shows a top prize of $78K claimed on Fireball 7s, a $5 scratch-off. 3 of the 4 printed now remain.

The change appeared in the published data on August 18, 2026. Lotteries publish with a lag, so the prize itself may have been claimed a day or more earlier. The figures do not say who claimed it or where, and neither do we.

Overall odds on Fireball 7s are 1 in 4.06. They were fixed at printing and describe the whole run, including every prize already claimed.

The lottery no longer lists this game.

What this does not say

That any ticket is a good buy. Every scratch game returns less than it takes in, with or without its top prize.

Scratch Better is not affiliated with any state lottery and does not sell tickets. Rankings are relative, not a guaranteed edge.
