ROCKVILLE, MD – A Rockville resident won $128,772 from a FAST PLAY progressive jackpot, which he described as a way to relieve stress after work. The winner, a federal employee, utilizes Lottery games on his commute home to unwind.
He purchased the winning ticket on Saturday, October 12, at the Lottery vending machine located at Aspen Shell in Rockville. After finishing his shift, he decided to spend some leftover change on two scratch-off tickets and one Big Money Doubler ticket.
“Something told me to get two more tickets instead,” he said. Although he had no luck with the scratch-off tickets, he hit the jackpot with the Big Money Doubler.
