Mississippi Lottery Schedules Fast Play Launch as 2026 Transfers Reach $39.7 Million

The Mississippi Lottery will launch its Fast Play product on November 22. The timing aligns with the organization's anniversary month, as it reported transferring $9 million in October. That transfer brings the 2026 total to $39.7 million, according to reporting by Lottery Daily.

Since its first ticket sale on Nov. 25, 2019, the Mississippi Lottery has delivered $858.1 million (£648 million) to state causes. Jeff Hewitt, Mississippi Lottery President, highlighted the new offering. "We’re always looking for ways to bring variety and excitement to our players, and Fast Play adds an entirely different style of game to our lineup," Hewitt said.

Hewitt added: "Launching during our anniversary month makes this occasion even more special. Since our first ticket went on sale Nov. 25, 2019, we believe there’s no better way to mark our anniversary than by giving our players another game to enjoy."

Fast Play Game Features

Fast Play combines instant win games and draw games. Tickets are generated on demand, results revealed immediately, and prizes delivered immediately. The lottery states that the game will give players "a different kind of lottery experience at record speed" and "another way to experience the excitement of Mississippi Lottery games."

All proceeds will support the Mississippi Department of Transportation’s infrastructure projects and the Mississippi Department of Education’s educational programmes.

Digital Adoption Across State Lotteries

The new product builds on the Mississippi Lottery's official app launch the prior year. It follows the Illinois Lottery, which introduced Fast Play in 2020, as more state lotteries embrace digitalisation.
