How to Play
Fantasy 5 has been a fan favorite among Michigan Lottery players for quite some time. Players simply pick five numbers in a range from one to 39 by themselves or allow for the machine to pick for them.
There are a couple of features to consider adding to your ticket, like the Double Play feature. This add-on will immediately play your exact same numbers for a second drawing, with that particular jackpot set at $110,000.
Another add-on to look at is the EZmatch, which will use a particular number that needs to be paired together in order to win. The prizes for this win will range up to $500.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The overall odds of winning a single prize in Fantasy 5 are going to differ from one person to the next if players decide to add those additional features. The odds are 1 in 9 when playing, but the add-ons will slightly change this.
Looking at the regular drawing, it has odds at 1 in 9, but the EZ Match is a bit better at 1 in 5. You could always buy a second ticket at a dollar apiece, but each add-on costs a dollar too, making this potentially three dollars a ticket.
The prizes that are found on the regular drawing are at $1, $10, $100, and then the current jackpot that is set at the time of your purchase. The Double Play carries the same odds as the regular draw and has the prize amounts doubled, at $2, $20, $200. For the jackpot, this is a fixed amount of $110,000.
Below are the EZmatch prizes and odds:
| Prize | Odds |
|---|---|
| $500 | 1:84,000 |
| $250 | 1:42,000 |
| $100 | 1:14,000 |
| $50 | 1:4,942 |
| $20 | 1:2,100 |
| $15 | 1:1,293 |
| $10 | 1:132 |
| $5 | 1:280 |
| $4 | 1:77 |
| $3 | 1:14 |
| $2 | 1:10 |
