The lucky player, who chose to remain anonymous, bought her winning ticket Sept. 11 at the Ann Arbor Beer Depot, located at 114 East Williams in Ann Arbor.
“I play Fast Cash every once in a while,” said the player. “I was in the mood to play, so I stopped at the store and bought a ticket. When I looked it over and saw I won the jackpot, I didn’t believe it, so I went home and had my parents look the ticket over. At first, we thought I’d just won the jackpot, but then we realized I’d won another $250,000 on top of that. It still feels surreal!”
The 21-year-old player recently visited Lottery headquarters to claim the prize. With her winnings, she plans to buy a home.
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.
