$129K Winning Lottery Ticket Sold In Havre de Grace

HAVRE DE GRACE, MD — One lucky lottery player who bought a Fast Play World Championship Poker ticket Tuesday has won its $129,149 progressive jackpot, Maryland lottery officials announced.

The winner purchased the lucky ticket at Royal Farms, which is at 803 Pulaski Hwy. in Havre de Grace. Lottery officials said this is the second progressive jackpot won in the $5 game.

The World Championship Poker progressive jackpot starts at $40,000 and grows with the sale of each ticket until a jackpot-winning ticket is sold.

According to state lottery officials, the Fast Play game started in Sept. 2021 and still has 13 progressive top prizes remaining along with seven $5,000 prizes and others ranging from $5 to $1,000.

The Royal Farms store also has reason to celebrate. For selling a jackpot-winning FAST Play ticket of $100,000 or more, the Harford County business will receive a $1,000 bonus from the lottery, lottery officials said.

Lottery officials encourage the winner to sign the back of the ticket immediately and put it in a safe location. Winners get 182 days from the date of the drawing to claim prizes.
