May 12th, 2025

CHICAGO, May 12, 2025 – Someone in Illinois must be feeling like a million bucks, after the lucky online Lottery player won a $1,348,786 jackpot with Cash Castle, the latest FastPlay game available from the Illinois Lottery.

This is the second largest Cash Castle jackpot won so far, right after a $1.4 million jackpot was won in April, and a $462,000 jackpot was won in March.

Cash Castle is a $30 progressive FastPlay game. The jackpot begins at $100,000, which is the highest starting jackpot of any Illinois Lottery FastPlay game, and grows with each ticket sold statewide until the jackpot is won.

Since its launch on Feb. 27, more than 303,000 winning Cash Castle tickets have been sold, with total prizes amounting to over $24.4 million for Illinois Lottery players.
