Matthew Spaulding, 41, bought his winning ticket at the Mobil gas station, located at 3267 South State Street in Ann Arbor.
“I was checking out at the gas station, and the clerk handed me back $5 in change,” said Spaulding. “I don’t usually play Fast Cash, but I saw a Fast Cash sign by their register and told him I’d like to use my change on a Money Match ticket.
“I looked over the ticket while I was walking out of the store and when I saw I’d won the jackpot, I completely lost it. I startled some of the customers because I started shouting and celebrating. It was such an awesome feeling!”
Spaulding recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim his prize. He plans to save his winnings.
Fast Cash games are a series of instant-win games that print from terminals at Lottery retailers. Fast Cash tickets range in price from $2 per play up to $20 per play.
Fast Cash games offer a progressive jackpot that can be won instantly. Every Fast Cash ticket gives players a chance to win all or part of the progressive jackpot.
All of the Fast Cash games feed into one jackpot, which grows with every ticket purchased. The current jackpot amount prints on each ticket, so players always know the amount of the jackpot up for grabs. The jackpot may be won at any time. As soon as the jackpot is hit, a new one starts to grow.
