RALEIGH, N.C. (WECT) - Corinne Leontieff of Hampstead won a $134,857 jackpot from her first Fast Play ticket on February 26.
Leontieff bought the Fast Play ticket at the Hampstead Country Store on U.S. 17 South in Hampstead. After taxes, she returned home on Thursday with $95,765. She plans to spend the money on paying bills, investing and saving up for her son.
“I was in shock of course,” she said, “Still kind of in shock.”
Per a NC Education Lottery release on March 25, “Fast Play’s rolling, progressive jackpot increases with every ticket sold until it is won. On Friday morning, the jackpot exceeded a half million dollars and was still growing. A $10 ticket, like Big Bucks Bingo, receives 100 percent of the jackpot amount. The odds of winning a Fast Play jackpot are 1 in 240,000.”
