Forsyth County man bags $288,925 Fast Play jackpot

William Millaway of Winston-Salem tried his luck on a $5 Fast Play ticket and walked away with a $288,925 jackpot prize.

“This is coming at a really good time for me,” he said.

Millaway purchased his $5 Rockin’ Bingo ticket from the Harris Teeter on Robinhood Village Drive in Winston-Salem.

The odds of winning a Fast Play jackpot are 1 in 240,000. A $5 ticket receives 50% of the jackpot amount.

Millaway claimed his prize Friday at lottery headquarters in Raleigh. After required federal and state tax withholdings, he took home $204,416.

“I had a hard start to the year,” said Millaway. “This will fix it up some.”

Fast Play’s rolling, progressive jackpot increases with every ticket sold until it is won.

Printed on each Fast Play ticket is the amount of the jackpot when the ticket is sold and how much of that jackpot the ticket could win. Players can also win instant cash prizes on their Fast Play tickets.

There should be a annual second chance drawing for fast play whereby only fast play tickets can be entered for a chance to win a prize.
