$153,045 Fast Play jackpot will pay off mortgage for South Carolina man

Nathaniel Geathers of Bennettsville, S.C. stopped to try his luck on a $10 Fast Play ticket during a trip to North Carolina on Thursday and won a jackpot of $153,045.

Geathers, a drywall finisher, said his jackpot will pay off his mortgage, allow him to help some family members in need, and put a new motor on his 21-foot Bayrider.

“It was good,” said Geathers of the moment when he hit the jackpot at Nic’s Pic Kwik on U.S. 401 in Laurinburg. “It was a great feeling to get what I was looking for.”

Geathers said his first ticket won him $20. His second ticket won $15. The third won the jackpot. A $10 Jackpot 7’s Fast Play ticket wins all of the progressive, rolling jackpot. The odds of winning a Fast Play jackpot are 1 in 240,000.

Geathers collected his prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After state and federal tax withholdings, he took home $108,282.

Hi Carol, great question! We aren't sure who won yet - we are waiting for the lucky winner to claim their prize! We will update our website with the information once the lucky winner comes to headquarters to claim.

Not fair at all! He wins the jackpot and I miss matching 3 money bag numbers by one d*mn digit and got cheated out of it.

If you have a winning bingo ticket and the bar code cannot be read, can you still get your winnings by the clerk entering the 25 letters and numbers under the bar code.NC Lottery
Great question, Michael! Thanks for commenting. You may try to redeem the prize at a retailer and some may be able to manually enter the numbers, but if that doesn't work, you will be able to claim either by mail or at one of the NCEL offices! Visit our website here to learn how to claim by mail or to download the claim form for one of our offices: https://nclottery.com/ClaimPrizes. Hope this helps!
