LEXINGTON, N.C. — She may not have won the Powerball or the Mega Millions, but overall, North Carolinians have been on a roll with scratch-off and Fast Play tickets! 

A Lexington woman recently brought a $5 Fast Play ticket and won half the jackpot!

Linda Canady brought her lucky Double W!N ticket from Kelly’s High Rock Grocery on N.C. 8 in Lexington. 

The jackpot stood at $244,272 when she brought the ticket. Since she bought a $5 ticket, Canady received 50% of the progressive jackpot, or $122,136. She took home $87,023 after taxes. 

Fast Play features an instantly growing jackpot that increases with every ticket sold until it is won. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Fast Play jackpot stands at $169,000 and counting.

Ticket sales from games like Fast Play make it possible for the lottery to raise $2.5 million a day on average for education. For details on how $9.7 million raised by the lottery made a difference in Davidson County last year, visit www.nclottery.com and click on the “Impact” section.
