Wisconsin Lottery Player Buys Ticket, Immediately Wins $232,675

Usually, when you decide to play a lottery game, you buy the ticket and tuck it away on the off chance you win something when the next drawing happens.

If you're lucky, you win a little cash, and you're even more fortunate if you remember you bought a ticket and still know where it is.

That is why a significant number of lottery winnings go unclaimed, but a new game from the Wisconsin Lottery instantly takes the mystery out of whether you've won or not, and getting a ticket turned out to be a lucky decision recently for a big winner.

The Fast Play Progressive Jackpot is the newest style of lotto game from the Wisconsin Lottery.

Players can watch the jackpot grow in real time and see it reset when there is a winner.  There are a variety of Fast Play games to choose from, all of which contribute to the one Progressive Jackpot.

As the price of your ticket increases, so does the percentage of the Jackpot your ticket can win, from 10% to 100% of the total Jackpot. A big difference from other lottery games is that all prizes are instant wins, including the jackpot. There is no waiting for a drawing, you play your ticket right away to see if you've won.
