ACROSS CONNECTICUT — The CT Lottery Monday will be launching a new category of games called "Fast Play."

Fast Play games are like instant (scratch) games, but are printed on-demand from a CT Lottery retailer terminal or self-serve CT Lottery vending machine. The "first family" of games will be "Jumbo Bucks," and will be available at the $1, $2 and $5 price points.

Fast Play progressive games are a series (or family) of games that all share the same name, appearance and playstyle, but are available at different price points (wager amounts). There are no numbers to pick, no play slip needed and no drawings. Each game in a family contributes to ONE progressive jackpot that grows with ticket sales, until someone wins. Fast Play will be available across the CT Lottery’s 2,900-strong retailer network.
