Maryland Woman Strikes $135K Progressive Jackpot in Fast Play Game
Lucky Lady Strikes Again! Severna Park Resident Wins FAST PLAY Grand Progressive Jackpot
A thrilling victory was earned by a woman hailing from Severna Park, Maryland, who became the latest winner of the FAST PLAY Grand Progressive jackpot. The $134,985 prize was hers after an incredibly lucky spin. The popular lottery game continues to feature numerous additional prizes up for grabs.
Stunned Silence and a Whirlwind of Emotions
The Anne Arundel County resident made her purchase at 7-Eleven, located on 162 Ritchie Highway in Severna Park. The lucky winner confessed to a Lottery official that she initially felt it wasn't a winner and that scanning the ticket took her by surprise, as it initially displayed a dark screen. After the screen went blank, a message instructed her to head to the Maryland Lottery.
"I was stunned. It was quite dramatic with the screen going blank," the woman reminisced.
However, upon re-examining the ticket, she managed to spot the number 25, which matched the progressive jackpot symbol. The woman was shocked beyond belief when she inquired about the jackpot amount from a clerk and realized she had just won a life-changing sum.
The retailer who sold the winning ticket will also benefit from a $1,000 bonus.
"It was exciting. I can't believe it," the fortunate winner admitted.
When asked about her plans for the unexpected winnings, the woman expressed that she intends to save some of the money for her retirement years.
