North Carolina Man Claims Top Fast Play Prize – $1.6M

(AsiaGameHub) –   A North Carolina man, Montfort Faulkner from Cary, has become the largest winner in the Fast Play lottery game, taking home the staggering $1,578,846 jackpot.

Faulkner paid $20 to play the Jackpot 777 Fast Play game on February 3, 2026, at the Publix on Kildaire Farm Road in Cary; the lottery only revealed details about the lucky outcome today.

Faulkner’s $20 ticket earned him a $1,378,846 jackpot along with $200,000 in cash, leading to a total win of nearly $1.6 million in the end.

This isn’t the only recent story of a lottery winner from the state, as a mother won a $707,600 jackpot in the Magic Winnings game, beating very slim odds of 1 in 64.5 million, and opted for the full cash option, resulting in a total of $509,543.
