Rainy day win: Carlstadt player grabs $78K Fast Play jackpot

CARLSTADT, NJ — A dreary Friday morning took a bright turn for one lucky Bergen County player, who won the full $78,383 Fast Play Progressive jackpot with a Garden State Bingo ticket.

The $10 winning ticket was sold at Flavor Mart and More, located at 362 Garden Street in Carlstadt. The player claimed the entire jackpot amount, which resets to $10,000 following the win.

The prize was won on May 9, making it one of the larger recent payouts in the Fast Play Progressive game series. The quick-play format allows players to instantly know if they’ve won, with no need to wait for a drawing.

Fast Play Progressive tickets are available at all New Jersey Lottery retailers and include a range of games with continuously growing jackpots until a top-prize ticket is sold.

Flavor Mart and More will receive a retailer bonus for selling the winning ticket. This win continues a streak of notable Fast Play jackpots awarded across the state this year.

The Garden State Bingo game is part of the Fast Play Progressive lineup, offering players an immediate shot at growing top prizes while maintaining the simplicity of a scratch-off-style experience.

Players can view current jackpots and game details on the New Jersey Lottery’s Fast Play webpage.
