On a FAST PLAY ticket bought at Mutts Liquors in Indian Head, a lottery player in Charles County, Maryland, won $2,041,396. The full narrative, provided by MD Lottery, is below:
On Friday, a Charles County Maryland Lottery player started the weekend off well by purchasing a FAST PLAYGold Rush Progressive ticket that won an incredible $2,041,396. Mutts Liquors, 4541 Indian Head Highway, Indian Head, is where the fortunate ticket was sold.
Beginning on July 1, 2024, the $30 Gold Rush Progressive ticket had a progressive prize of $650,000. The jackpot grew with each ticket sold until Friday, when it had surpassed $2 million. At the time of sale, each ticket is printed with the most recent progressive jackpot amounts. Additionally, the lottery’s website, mobile app, vending machines, and television monitors at all Lottery merchants update the progressive prize amounts every fifteen minutes.
Since the FAST PLAY games were introduced in February 2020, Maryland has not witnessed a progressive jackpot as great as Friday’s big victory. The biggest win was $2.9 million in November 2024 from the $30 VIP Club game, and the second greatest was $2.6 million in October 2021 from the $20 Diamond Mine game.
FAST PLAY tickets are instant-win games that function similarly to scratch-off tickets, but there is no scratching involved. The lottery’s terminals and vending machines print the tickets as needed. The cost of FAST PLAY games varies from $1 to $30, and some of them include progressive top rewards that rise in value as more tickets are sold.
Mutts Liquors is also having a celebration. The lottery will give the Charles County retailer a $1,000 prize for selling the ticket.
