Fast Play games are printed on demand from lottery terminals and self-service vending machines. Unlike traditional draw games, players know immediately if their ticket is a winner by reviewing the ticket or scanning it at a lottery retailer or through the Pennsylvania Lottery app.

The Pennsylvania Lottery reminds players that Fast Play prizes must be claimed within one year of the ticket’s purchase date. Lottery prizes over $5,000 are subject to applicable withholding.
