Maryland Woman Wins $135,000 FAST PLAY Progressive Jackpot

A woman from Severna Park was in disbelief after winning a progressive jackpot in a popular Maryland lottery game. Late last week, the Maryland Lottery announced that she became the fourth winner of the $10 FAST PLAY Grand Progressive game.

A resident of Anne Arundel County bought her winning ticket at the 7-Eleven located at 162 Ritchie Highway in Severna Park. During a conversation with a Lottery official, the fortunate winner shared that when she first examined the ticket, she didn't think it was a winner. She was taken by surprise when she scanned the ticket and initially saw a black screen. A message then appeared, instructing her to visit the Maryland Lottery. I was stunned. The screen going blank was really dramatic, she recalled. After examining the ticket again, she noticed it matched the number 25, the progressive jackpot symbol. When she inquired with a clerk about the jackpot amount, she was shocked to learn she had won $134,985. As a result of selling the winning ticket, the retailer will receive a $1,000 bonus. It was exciting. I can’t believe it, the winner confessed. When asked about her plans for the unexpected prize, she mentioned she intends to save the money for retirement. This woman became the fourth winner of a progressive jackpot from the FAST PLAY lottery game. She joins previous jackpot winners from Odenton, La Plata, and a Pennsylvania resident who purchased a winning ticket in Laurel.

The $10 FAST PLAY Grand Progressive game originally launched with 28 progressive jackpot prizes. Since a woman from Severna Park has already won the fourth jackpot, there are now 24 top prizes remaining. When the progressive jackpot is claimed, it resets to $100,000 and starts growing again with every ticket sale until it's won once more. Besides the lucrative progressive jackpot, the game offers six second-tier prizes of $50,000 each. Additionally, players have the chance to win a third-tier prize worth $10,000, with 45 such prizes still available. The game is popular for its variety of prizes, including thousands of smaller winnings ranging from $10 to $1,000. The odds of winning any prize in the FAST PLAY Grand Progressive game are 1 in 3.73.
