Fast Play jackpot soars to all-time high

March 7, 2023 Posted by NC Lottery at 2:47 PM

The current Fast Play jackpot, $875,000 and counting, represents the largest jackpot offered in the game’s history.

A winning $10 or $20 jackpot ticket would set a new record for a Fast Play win.

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 instantly growing Fast Play jackpot increases with every ticket sold until it is won.

Don’t forget:

A $2 Fast Play ticket wins 20% of the jackpot.
A $5 Fast Play ticket wins half of the jackpot.
A $10 Fast Play ticket wins all of the jackpot.
A $20 Fast Play ticket wins all of the jackpot plus $200,000 cash.

Good luck and go get that record jackpot!

Exactly NCEL do better I think I easier to seek asylum in the US that to get NCEL to verify your documentation I remember a one time I won 150 I probably never got paid because they were asking for a lot and taking forever to verify.

Wow. These comments make me second guess all of my online purchases.

@ Sheila I. - It's not the documentation submissions at issue, it's the time to validate a SSN Card that was submitted over a week ago! NCEL should prioritize paying winners in a timely manner! It should not take that long to verify ONE upload with SSN info. I won't get into the fact that they literally have ALL of this information when you create online account that also went through "verification" and then there's the same driver's license and SSN card that they copy EVERY time you claim at the claim center and print out WG-9 WITH SSN on it. What happens to the documents they copy each time??? This is poor processes and procedures that create unnecessary frustration for players who pay the salaries of those who clearly don't value a good Customer experience??????

Good luck everyone I could use a blessing as so as for many others

Hi Joseph. Yes, it happened to me a few years back. I had to submit documentation for verification. After that, it's been smooth sailing

NC Lottery will post about jackpots, but never about the Customer Service that is HORRIBLE! They recently offered pick 2and pick 4 games through web site and mobile, which is convenient -UNTIL you win and try to collect! Going on 2 weeks of back and forth "documents" being requested peace meal and having to wait for "Accounting Department" to validate documents! Mind you, those same documents; Claim Form, SSN, and Drivers License and "validated" by Accounting Department when claiming in person! What an unnecessarily cumbersome process that stalls paying winners in a timely manner. If excuses were dollars, I would have one another jackpot!NC Lottery
Hi, Joseph! We apologize for the inconvenience - our team has to complete this process to verify your identity for your first withdrawal, after that, you won't need to complete this again!

will fast play be available online soon?NC Lottery
Hi, Mary! At this time, we don't have any plans to add Fast Play games to Online Play, but the future is full of possibilities!

Still looking into this game(s)…

Is there any latency on the rolling display when a jackpot ticket is sold? Say three tickets are purchased at the same time from a kiosk, and the second ticket wins a jackpot... Would the estimated jackpot printed at the top of the third ticket reflect the updated number after the win a second before?NC Lottery
Hi, Timothy! Apologies for the delay - we wanted to make sure we had the correct answer for you before responding! ;) To answer your question, yes - the 3rd ticket would reflect the updated jackpot value if the 2nd ticket was a jackpot winner!

Is the jackpot advertised cash or annuity For example if jackpot is 800K - will the winner collect the whole 800K minus taxNC Lottery
Hi, Adekunle! The jackpot advertised is the cash amount - there is no annuity for Fast Play wins :)

Hopefully one day we get somebody from Florida or virginia,to run our lottery.till then we have to deal with this pathetic bunch,with no customer service

3/07/2023 05:28 - susan d.

Nc lottery now says,they fix more problems in house now,they will now answer problems faster ThAr is alot of BS!!!

3/07/2023 04:33 - Angela A.

This is nothing to be happy about as a player! It just means a lot of people have been losing like me! Been buying a ticket everyday and can't even win the price of the ticket BACK! There has to be a increase in smaller WINS or this game will fall just like the rest of them, because there is only one ticket that can WIN that Jackpot no Split. Get with the program NCEL! We need WINNERS and lots of them.
