Will my new car insurance company find out I lied?

A unique (perhaps?) situation: I have a Washington State driver's license. I got a speeding ticket two years ago in Massachusetts (and paid it). I was driving someone else's car when I received the ticket. I now live in Connecticut and am about to switch car insurance companies. Given the multiple states I've mentioned above, how likely is it that a CT insurance agent will find out about my fairly recent ticket? Thanks for your help!

1. They will probably find out. Just tell the truth. The cost for telling the truth is MUCH MUCH lower than the cost of being found out later. Seriously, insurance fraud is the worst thing possible
2. Whenever you get a ticket anywhere in any car it is placed on your driving record. Your insurance company will easily have access to those records and automatically adjust your rates accordingly, there won't even be an option to lie about it.
3. Fairly likely
4. It doesn't matter who owned the car you were driving, the ticket went on your record. The insurance company will probably find out.
5. There is a pretty good chance they will find out but that's not 100% guaranteed. There is a national driver registry and if Massachusetts reported you ticket to them then the information is available.r
