CHICAGO, August 29, 2024 – An Illinois Lottery retailer in Alsip makes history after selling a Fast Play jackpot winning ticket worth nearly a whopping $1.7 million – the largest Fast Play jackpot ever sold in-store.

The winning ticket was with Fast Play Ultimate Diamond Jackpot, and was purchased at Speedway in Alsip, located at 5320 West 127th Street.

The jackpot amount was $1,691,719 and was won on Tuesday, August 27, 2024. 

This is the largest Fast Play jackpot won in retail and the third highest Fast Play jackpot ever won in Illinois, behind a $2.7 million jackpot won in June of this year, and a $1.7 million jackpot won just last month. All three of these top Fast Play jackpots were won with Ultimate Diamond Jackpot.

For selling the winning ticket, the Speedway in Alsip will receive a bonus of one percent of the prize amount, or about $16,900.

Ultimate Diamond Jackpot is a $30 Illinois Lottery Fast Play progressive jackpot game. The jackpot begins at $75,000 and grows with each ticket sold statewide - in-store and online - until the jackpot is won.
