Jackpot Alert: Illinois Player Strikes Gold with $1.4M Cash Castle Win

An Illinois resident is celebrating a massive payday after scoring $1,432,831 in the state’s new FastPlay game, “Cash Castle.”

According to Illinois Lottery officials, the lucky player hit the jackpot while playing the $30 progressive FastPlay game. It’s now the biggest win recorded since the game launched just five weeks ago.

“Cash Castle” starts with a $10,000 base jackpot, which climbs higher with every ticket sold until someone claims the prize. This winning ticket hit at just the right time, capturing the game’s most substantial payout yet.

Players can join the action by purchasing tickets in-store, online, or via the Illinois Lottery app.

This exciting win comes on the heels of another headline-maker — the $349 million Mega Millions prize still waiting to be claimed in DeKalb County.

Remember, players must be 18 or older to participate in any Illinois Lottery games.
