43 licensed Big Y locations across 37 cities in Connecticut.
Big Y is one of the top 5 lottery retailer chains in Connecticut, ranked #4 of 6 tracked chains — about 1.5% of all licensed retailers statewide.
43 Big Y locations officially licensed to sell lottery tickets in Connecticut, sourced directly from the state's official open-data portal.
Every Big Y location listed above holds a valid license from the Connecticut Lottery to sell tickets, meaning the store has passed the state's retailer requirements and reports its lottery sales the same way any other licensed dealer does. As a national or regional chain, Big Y locations tend to offer fairly consistent hours and a full lineup of whatever draw games and scratch-offs Connecticut currently runs, though exact selection and hours vary a bit store-to-store — it's always worth a quick call if you're timing a purchase around a jackpot deadline.
None of the 43 Big Y locations in Connecticut currently show a documented winning-ticket sale in LotteryMap's records. That just reflects what's been tracked so far — every Big Y store sells the same tickets, at the same odds, as any other licensed retailer in Connecticut.
If a ticket from one of these locations pays off, small prizes can usually be cashed right at the register where you bought it. Larger prizes require a trip to an official Connecticut Lottery claim center with the signed ticket and a government-issued photo ID — the store itself won't be able to pay out a jackpot-sized win.
