Deep River player hits $412K jackpot on $10 FAST PLAY Casino Cash ticket

Deep River, CT — A Connecticut Lottery player struck a massive payday after purchasing a FAST PLAY Casino Cash Progressive ticket worth $412,388 at Deep River Market on Monday.

The winning ticket, part of the $10 FAST PLAY Casino Cash Progressive game, was sold at Deep River Market LLC, located in the town of Deep River. The prize reflects the progressive jackpot total at the time of the win on January 5.

FAST PLAY games differ from traditional draw games and scratch-offs. Tickets are printed with pre-determined outcomes at the time of purchase, and progressive jackpot games feature a growing top prize that increases with every ticket sold statewide until it is hit.

The winner has not been publicly identified. Under Connecticut Lottery rules, FAST PLAY prizes must be claimed within 180 calendar days from the purchase date. All prizes over $5,000 are subject to state and federal tax withholdings.

Players are encouraged to sign the back of their ticket and keep it in a safe place until claiming.
