PHILADELPHIA – A record-setting lottery jackpot winning ticket was sold this weekend in Philadelphia.

Pennsylvania Lottery’s Fat Wallet game has awarded its largest Fast Play progressive top prize ever worth $2,419,372. A Lottery retailer in Philadelphia sold the winning ticket on Saturday, December 3. A $10,000 bonus will be awarded to Sunoco, 630 Walnut Lane, Philadelphia, for selling the winning ticket.

The previous record was set on May 28, 2022, when a lucky player won more than $1.9 million playing Top Dollar, a progressive jackpot game.
 
In Fat Wallet, players can win progressive top prizes starting at $500,000. A Fast Play game is a game that prints on demand from a Lottery sales terminal or self-service touch-screen vending terminal and is similar to a Scratch-Off game, but without scratching a ticket or waiting for a drawing.
 
If a player believes they have won a prize, they may review the ticket or scan it at a Lottery retailer or use the ticket checker feature on the Lottery’s Official App. The holder of a top-prize winning Fast Play ticket should immediately sign the back of the ticket and contact the Lottery at 1-800-692-7481.

Prior to identifying winners, prizes must be claimed and tickets validated. Prizes awarded through Fast Play must be claimed within one year of the date of purchase. Withholding is applicable to all lottery prizes exceeding $5,000.
