• A player, choosing to remain unnamed, has captured the largest jackpot ever seen in the Cash Castle game.
• This game was freshly introduced to the public on February 27, 2024.
• FastPlay games continue to rank among the favorites in the state of Illinois.

In a remarkable turn of events, one lucky participant of the Illinois Lottery has secured a staggering sum exceeding $1.4 million in the latest FastPlay sensation, Cash Castle. This fortunate individual claimed a mind-boggling prize of $1,432,831, as announced by the lottery officials late last week.

The Rise of Cash Castle

Cash Castle stands as one of the newest entries in the Illinois Lottery’s ever-growing collection of FastPlay games, which have rapidly gained popularity among players. Officially launched on February 27, 2025, Cash Castle has already delivered significant winnings to its participants.

Game Features and Previous Wins

This particular game is a $30 progressive title within the FastPlay category, providing players with a baseline jackpot of $100,000. However, there is essentially no cap on the top prize, which, according to current statistics, is typically won at least once a month.

Before this anonymous participant captured the $1.4 million jackpot, another individual had previously secured a payout of $462,883. FastPlay games have consistently been favored by players, regularly generating substantial winners and heightening interest in this gaming segment.

Past Remarkable Wins

Earlier in January, a couple from Illinois secured a remarkable $2.66 million by playing the Ultimate Diamond Jackpot game via the lottery app.

When this couple won on January 11, 2025, lottery officials confirmed to CBS News that, by that point in the new year, the lottery had already sold 292,000 winning tickets, distributing $5.3 million in prize money to hundreds of thousands of players.

Cash Castle Lottery Prize Structure

The Cash Castle prize structure automatically replenishes with each ticket sold, across all prize tiers—both winning and non-winning. The odds of winning remain consistent for every ticket throughout the duration of the game. Cash Castle features a progressive jackpot, meaning the jackpot grows with every ticket sold until it’s won. Once claimed, the jackpot resets to a minimum of $100,000.
