Rahul Patel was the single winner that night, matching all six numbers: 18-22-26-39-48 and the Powerball number of 17.
He had purchased his $1 Powerball Quick Pick at Sam's Food Store in West Hartford.
Connecticut lottery officials say Patel opted to take the prize as a one-time cash lump sum of $12.5 million. After state and federal taxes, he received a check for $8.7 million.
This marks the sixth Powerball jackpot won on a ticket sold in Connecticut since the state joined the multistate game, which includes Rhode Island, in 1995. The last jackpot prize occurred in October 2007 when an Eastford resident won $15 million.
The odds of matching the jackpot prize are one in 195,249,054.
