If you could turn $1 into $600,590, would you do it? An overwhelming amount of people would probably agree that it is either a scam or a make-believe fairytale.

However, with the Michigan Lottery Fantasy 5 game, this actually happened to one lucky player. The anonymous player from East Lansing recently turned wealthier overnight after the purchase of their ticket at a Brookfield EZ Mart.

How to Play

Whether you purchase your tickets in-store or online is up to you. Just make sure you have an online account set up and ready to go if you would like the online option.

First, you must choose five numbers in a range from one to 39. If you cannot decide, simply select the easy pick option for the machine to choose for you.

For an additional dollar, you can add on the double play. This will use your numbers once again for a second chance drawing that allows you to play for $110,000.

If you would like another add-on feature, you have the EZmatch. For an additional dollar, the feature will reward you $500 instantly if your numbers match up with the EZmatch numbers.

Once you have purchased your ticket, you can check out the drawing online, through the Michigan Lottery app, or a TV station that shows live drawings. You can also scan your ticket to see if you have won anything after the drawing.

Odds, Price, and Prizes

When adding an additional feature to your ticket, it can slightly change the odds for making a return on your wager. Each add-on has its own odds calculated.

For the regular draw, the overall odds are 1 in 9. If you happen to match two out of the five numbers, then it is odds of 1:10 for a $1 prize. Moving up to the jackpot, and it has odds of 1: 575,757 for all five numbers correctly matched.

The prizes will vary from $1, $10, $100, and whatever the current jackpot is at the time of play. The Double Play features the exact same odds, and for the prizes, these have been doubled to $2, $20, $200, and $110,000 for matching the same amount of numbers.
