RALEIGH, N.C. (WITN) – A Carteret County player took a chance on a Fast Play ticket Saturday morning and won the largest Fast Play jackpot in history, North Carolina Education Lottery.

The lucky winner purchased the winning ticket from Handy House #2 on U.S. 70 in Smyrna, Carteret County.

The previous high for a Fast Play jackpot win was $691,417 in November of 2020. The previous high that the jackpot amount reached was in January of 2021 when it reached $747,482 before a jackpot win claimed half of that amount, the NC Education Lottery says.

Fast Play features an instantly growing jackpot that increases with every ticket sold until it is won. After Saturday’s win, the jackpot started over at $20,000.
