A lucky Illinois iLottery player landed a monumental windfall Sunday, winning nearly $3.3 million in the FastPlay Ultimate Diamond Jackpot game. The winner, who played online, hit an enormous jackpot worth $3,287,514, Lottery officials said.
It's the second-largest FastPlay jackpot won since the game's 2020 launch, with the largest being the $5.75 million Ultimate Diamond Jackpot won in November 2024.
Ultimate Diamond Jackpot is a $30 progressive FastPlay game. The jackpot begins at $75,000 and grows with each ticket sold statewide until the jackpot is won.
The lucky winner has one year from the draw date to claim their prize.
FastPlay is a style of lottery games that are quick and easy, and can be played at any time, Lottery officials said. There are no numbers to pick, no play slip to complete, no scratching, and no waiting for winning numbers. The Illinois Lottery currently offers 38 FastPlay games at various price points and play styles.
