RALEIGH — Wesley Barrett, of Waco, took a chance on a Fast Play ticket Friday morning and won a $1.14 million jackpot, the largest in Fast Play history, the N.C. Education Lottery reported.
He bought his lucky $10 Jackpot 777 ticket from Metcalf’s Grocery on Tryon School Road in Bessemer City.
The largest Fast Play win before Barrett’s occurred on March 11 when a $20 100X The Cash ticket won a $920,665 jackpot plus the $200,000 cash that comes with a $20 Fast Play purchase.
Barrett arrived at lottery headquarters Wednesday to collect his prize and, after required state and federal tax withholdings, took home $814,395.
