“I saw the Fast Cash jackpot was over $1 million, so I bought a ticket,” the player said. “I looked the ticket over when I got home and saw a match with ‘Jackpot’ underneath, but I had to scan the ticket on the Lottery app to double-check it. I was so happy and excited when the scanner confirmed my $1.35 million win!”
The 76-year-old man bought his winning ticket at Algonac Wine & Liquor, located at 411 Michigan Street in Algonac, roughly 30 miles east of Sterling Heights.
“Congratulations to the lucky player on his $1.35 million Fast Cash win and his upcoming retirement,” said Lottery Commissioner Suzanna Shkreli. “The player won 50% of the record-breaking Fast Cash progressive jackpot, which topped $2.7 million. The jackpot is still growing and now stands at $1.7 million!”
Tickets for the Michigan Lottery’s Fast Cash games range from $2 to $30 per play. Every ticket for a Fast Cash game gives people the chance to win all or some of the progressive jackpot.
