Online Illinois Lottery player wins over $1.2 million in FastPlay game
An online Illinois Lottery player won over $1.2 million after playing a FastPlay game this week, according to lottery officials.
The winning online ticket for the Ultimate Diamond Jackpot, worth $1,234,128, was purchased on Thursday. Lottery officials said it was the second-largest prize won for the game so far this year.
This comes a week after two other players won top prizes in two other online FastPlay games.
The first winner played the "Twenty 20s" game and won over $597,000. The second player won $250,000 after playing the "Magnificent Multiplier."
Ultimate Diamond Jackpot is an Illinois Lottery FastPlay progressive jackpot game. The jackpot begins at $75,000 and grows with each ticket sold statewide, both in-store and online, until it is won.
FastPlay games require no picking or waiting for numbers, play slips, or scratching.
Players must be 18 years of age to participate.
