Illinois Lottery: Alsip gas station sells winning ticket worth nearly $1.7M

ALSIP, Ill. - A gas station in suburban Alsip made history this week after selling a Fast Play jackpot winning ticket worth nearly $1.7 million.

The Illinois Lottery said the ticket was the largest Fast Play jackpot ever sold in-store.

The ticket was purchased at the Speedway located at 5320 W. 127th St. and was won on Tuesday. 

The jackpot amount was $1,691,719.

In Illinois, this was the largest Fast Play jackpot won at a retail store and the third-highest Fast Play jackpot ever won in the state, just behind a $2.7 million jackpot won in June and a $1.7 million jackpot won last month. 

All three of those Fast Play jackpots were won with Ultimate Diamond Jackpot. 

More than nine million winning Fast Play tickets have been sold so far this year, with Illinois Lottery players winning over $178 million in prizes.
