Rockville man’s after-work lottery routine lands $128K jackpot
ROCKVILLE, MD – A routine stop at a gas station turned into a life-changing moment for a Rockville man who scored a $128,772 FAST PLAY progressive jackpot after picking up a few lottery tickets on his way home from work.
The Montgomery County resident, a federal employee, made the winning purchase on Saturday at Aspen Shell on Aspen Hill Road. Known for playing Maryland Lottery games as a daily stress reliever, he used leftover cash to buy two $5 scratch-offs and a Big Money Doubler FAST PLAY ticket. While the scratch-offs came up short, the final ticket hit the jackpot.
The Big Money Doubler is part of the FAST PLAY progressive jackpot series, where the top prize grows as more players enter. The man’s ticket matched the jackpot-winning combination, instantly awarding him the $128,772 top prize. The unexpected win came just in time to help cover recent home repair expenses, providing much-needed financial relief.
Aspen Shell, the Rockville location where the ticket was purchased, will receive a $1,000 bonus from the Maryland Lottery for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
This marks another major win for Maryland’s FAST PLAY line of games, which continue to pay out substantial prizes to players across the state.
