Fast Play Progressive FAQs

Here are the answers to some questions players often have:

  • What is a progressive jackpot? It's the top prize for all Fast Play games, that increases every time someone buys a ticket and the jackpot isn't won - so it keeps growing until someone wins it.
  • How do you know what the current jackpot is worth? The estimated amount is printed on all tickets and shown in stores.
  • Can I still claim prizes from older Fast Play games? Fast Play Progressive was previously known as Fast Play. If you purchased a winning ticket before the start of Fast Play Progressive, you can still claim the prize within one year of the date you bought the ticket.
