Gaithersburg man wins FAST PLAY Big Money Doubler progressive jackpot
It started as just another day of grocery shopping for a Gaithersburg man. But, after picking up his groceries, he found himself trying to decide which Lottery ticket to buy. He made the right decision when he purchased a $5 FAST PLAY Big Money Doubler — it produced a $123,930 payday.
The happy winner said he only plays the Lottery a few times a month so, therefore, doesn’t have a favorite go-to game. He randomly decided on the FAST PLAY Big Money Doubler ticket that lucky day.
As he left the store and went back to his car, it didn’t take long before he noticed a matching number 25 for the progressive jackpot win. There was no exuberant celebration upon his discovery, as the winner remained silent and kept his win to himself. He told Lottery officials his only plans at this time are to pay off some bills.
The Big Money Doubler progressive jackpot starts at $40,000 and increases with the sale of each ticket until a progressive jackpot winner is sold. The game launched in 2023 with 15 progressive jackpot prizes, eight of which remain waiting to be won. Hundreds of thousands of additional prizes ranging from $10 to $5,000 remain unclaimed.
The Giant store at 229 Kentlands Boulevard in Gaithersburg will collect a $1,239.30 bonus for selling the FAST PLAY progressive jackpot-winning ticket.
