Fast Play: New game delivering fun and prizes

Six days ago, our new Fast Play games began and it’s been a great first week.

As this is written, the progressive Jackpot has climbed from $20,000 to over $230,000. We can’t wait to meet our first jackpot winner!

It’s been great seeing prizes being won and hear players say they are having fun.

The fun started Sunday and we checked in the first day at the popular lottery store, Eagles Express on Knightdale Boulevard in Knightdale, to talk to players trying the game for the first time.

“It’s easy to do and easy to win money off it,” said one of the players we met, Mario Rosalaz of Knightdale. “I like it. I won $20. Jackpot 7s. I’ll have to play again.”

“Fast Play is a fun game,” said another, John Koon of Knightdale. “I like it. Played a couple and lost, but you never know when you are going to get that big one.”

Across the state, thousands have been winning prizes and claiming their money at stores where they buy their tickets.

During the first six days of play, more than $1 million in prizes were paid out to 126,000 winning tickets. That includes 37 wins of $500 and three wins of $1,000. The $1,000 wins occurred at:

  • Quik Chek on Broad Street in Seagrove
  • Mody’s Quick Shop on Prosperity Church Road in Charlotte
  • Circle K on North Main Street in Archdale

We love hearing from players about their experiences with our games. You can share your comments on our blogs and on our social media channels or call Customer Services at (866) 934-0289.

In the weeks ahead, we will offer exciting Fast Play promotions that will give you free Fast Play tickets! Be on the lookout for those promotions when you visit your favorite lottery retailer.

Good luck with our Fast Play games. We hope some more fast prize are come your way soon.

Is there a jackpot "cap" on this new Fast Play game? In other words how high can it go? NC Lottery
Hey James, Great question! The jackpot will continue to grow until it is won. :)

I've bought 15 tickets and I haven't won jack, not even my $2 back I play Virginia's equivalent game of this and every 3 tickets I buy, I at least get 2 or 3 dollars back.

Just wondering why you can't buy scratch off on line? Why not let players play right here on line. You could have a daily limit on how much someone could spend per day on scratch off. NC Lottery
Thanks for the suggestion, Gary! At the time the lottery commission approved the sale of lottery games online, they only did so for Powerball, Mega Millions, Cash 5 and Lucky For Life. We are always looking for ways to accommodate our player's requests, so we appreciate knowing that is something you're interested in.

If only .50 cent goes to the Jackpot out of a $5.00 ticket where is the other $4.50 going.NC Lottery
Great question, William. A portion of the remaining money goes to fund the other prizes in the game, some goes to education, and a little bit is used to cover retailer commissions and administrative costs of the lottery. You can learn more about how each dollar of lottery sales breaks down here: https://nclottery.com/Content/Docs/Annual_Report_FY2019.pdf

Hey there John, We wanted to let you know that the folks here at the lottery don't have the power to make or change any laws, we simply operate according to the laws and help raise money for education.

Trying to figure out how to check to see if I am a winner for some reason or another cannot access my scan capabilities. NC Lottery
Hi Gloria. For Fast Play tickets, just follow the How To Win play instructions printed on each ticket to see if you are a winner. Tickets can also be checked using the NC Lottery ticket checker at each retail location or on a self-service vending machine, or by using the ticket checker on the NC Lottery mobile app. Also, the ticket checker feature is unavailable every morning from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. for routine maintenance by our gaming vendor. Outside of that time you should be able to access the site.

Out of a $5 fast play purchase, how much goes towards the jackpot?NC Lottery
Hi there, Exactly 10% of the ticket price is allocated to the jackpot. So for a $5 ticket, $0.50 goes to the jackpot.

Where do you find the results for the scratch offs. I've stumbled upon it on the website before but can't seem to find it now. NC Lottery
Hi Len. If you go to our "Scratch-Offs" page on our website and select any ticket, you can scroll to the bottom and it will let you know when the prize remaining count was last updated. Updates are done at the end of each day.

I love the new games I been wining on every tickets I get!

9/20/2020 11:26 - William D.

I personally believe that the system is to tight and more concentrated on the profit so the bonus can be bigger for the big guy whoever is in charged...

I like the new games jackpot growing daily

9/19/2020 09:03 - Tracy N.

I expected this new game to pay out jackpots faster than the other games. Especially when the jackpot game is $10 and no one has won it in 6 days? You can buy Cash 5 for $1 if that’s the case and just put your luck there.

9/19/2020 07:25 - Gracie R.

Can this be played online? NC Lottery
Hi Grace. Right now, Fast Play games can be purchased at most NC Lottery retailers and on all lottery self-service vending machines.

Can't check lucky-Rewards Entry NC Lottery
Hi Carl. If you are using a mobile device, To check a ticket’s winning, make sure the ticket is scanned on TICKET CHECKER tab scanner. The entire bar code needs to be visible while scanning. Draw ticket will have two different barcodes printed. Scan the barcode that is at the bottom of the ticket to check winnings. To earn Lucke-Rewards points, scan barcode that is right below the text “Lucke-Rewards Entry Code. I hope this helps!

Hi Michael. We can not share with you the requested information at this time, but please remember that new scratch-offs come out every First Tuesday.

when a $2,$5, or $10 fp ticket is sold how much goes toward jackpot NC Lottery
That's a great question, Susie! Exactly 10% of the ticket price is allocated to the jackpot. So for a $2 ticket, $0.20 goes to the jackpot. That increases to $0.50 for a $5 ticket and $1 for a $10 ticket $1.
