How To Play
To begin, you create your own ticket by choosing five numbers that range between 1 to 39. To make the game more interesting, adding an additional $1 allows you to have those same numbers entered again for the Double Play feature, which is to be used immediately in a second draw. The second drawing has available prizes that range up to $110,000.
But wait! There’s more! You can add another feature to the game for $1. This extra feature allows you to have the EZmatch for your chance to win $500 instantly. All you have to do is have your EZmatch numbers match up with the Fantasy 5 numbers to win the amount next to that number.
Once you have decided how much involvement your ticket will have, you then simply wait for the drawing at the designated time. To check your results, you can find it on your local news television station, Michigan Lottery’s website, or on the Michigan Lottery app and receive updates.
