Lucky east guy wins a big jackpot worth of $1.1 million recently

A Carteret County player took a chance on a Fast Play ticket Saturday morning and won the largest Fast Play jackpot in history, North Carolina Education Lottery.

The lucky winner purchased the winning ticket from Handy House #2 on U.S. 70 in Smyrna, Carteret County. At the time of the purchase, the jackpot stood at $920,665.

Since it was a $20 ticket, the NC Education Lottery says the winner receives 100% of the $920,665 jackpot plus $200,000 cash. The previous high for a Fast Play jackpot win was $691,417 in November of 2020.

The previous high that the jackpot amount reached was in January of 2021 when it reached $747,482 before a jackpot win claimed half of that amount, the NC Education Lottery says.

The odds of winning a Fast Play jackpot are 1 in 320,000. The winner has 180 days to claim the prize at lottery headquarters in Raleigh.
