What are the ways I can play FastPlay?

- FastPlay in retail;
- FastPlay Scan-N-Play in retail; and
- FastPlay online.
How do I play FastPlay in retail?

How do I play FastPlay Scan-N-Play?
To play FastPlay Scan-N-Play, purchase a ticket at any Illinois Lottery retailer and play the game on your phone by scanning the barcode on the ticket, using the Illinois Lottery app.
How do I play FastPlay online?

What types of FastPlay games can I choose from?
You can choose from set (i.e., top prize is predetermined), progressive (i.e., rolling jackpot), and progressive suite (i.e., rolling jackpot with wager options for a percentage of the jackpot) games.
What is a set FastPlay game?
Set FastPlay games have a set top prize, and players have a chance to win the top prize or other cash prizes.
What is a progressive FastPlay game?
For progressive games, the jackpot begins at a base minimum and grows with each ticket sold statewide until the jackpot is won. Once the jackpot is won, it immediately resets to the base minimum. Players have a chance to win the jackpot or other cash prizes.
What is a progressive suite FastPlay game?
Similar to progressive games, progressive suite games also have a dynamic jackpot that grows with every ticket sold statewide until it’s won. After the jackpot is won, it immediately resets to the base minimum. The difference is that a progressive suite game has one progressive jackpot with multiple wager amounts. The player chooses how much to wager based on wager options available. The higher the wager, the higher the percentage of the jackpot that can be won. Players have a chance to win the jackpot or other cash prizes.

Where can I find progressive jackpot amounts, and how often are they updated?
You can find estimated jackpot amounts on IllinoisLottery.com, the Illinois Lottery app, and at any Illinois Lottery retailer. Jackpot amounts are updated every two minutes. The jackpot is listed near the top of progressive and progressive suite FastPlay tickets and is accurate at the time of purchase. Please note that progressive suite FastPlay tickets in retail will show the full jackpot amount, not the calculated payout based on the wager. However, an online ticket will show the calculated percentage payout for progressive suite games.
Do FastPlay games in retail and online share the same prize pool?
Yes, progressive and progressive suite FastPlay games contribute to the same jackpot per game and pull from the same prize pool regardless of where or how the tickets are purchased.
