An Illinois Lottery player has won the biggest Fast Play jackpot ever – nearly $1 million.
The lucky player won $979,168 playing Fast Play Twenty 20s.
Twenty 20s is a $20 progressive jackpot Fast Play game. The jackpot begins at $50,000 and grows with each ticket sold statewide until the jackpot is won.
The winning ticket was purchased on Saturday, February 18 at a Shell gas station, located at 4800 N. Ashland Ave. in Chicago.
For selling the winning ticket, the retailer will receive a bonus of nearly $9,800, which is one percent of the prize amount.
Just two months ago, an Illinois iLottery player from Chicago won the second biggest Fast Play jackpot – nearly $925,000 playing Twenty 20s online.
Fast Play games can be purchased in retail, or online via IllinoisLottery.com or the Illinois Lottery app.
