How to Play
Fantasy 5 is arguably one of the most popular games for the Michigan Lottery. Players must select their favorite five numbers ranging from one to 39 or choose “easy pick” to have the machine decide.
One reason that players love this game is the features that can be added, like Double Play. This feature will use the same numbers you already played and run them for a second drawing. This jackpot is set at $110,000.
The other feature to check out is EZmatch, which has a special number at the time of the draw which needs to be matched together on your ticket in order to win a prize. The top prize for this particular add-on is $500.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The odds are going to shift in Fantasy 5, depending on how you play your ticket. For example, prizes are generally favored 1 in 9 to win a prize. Purchasing another ticket or adding features could also affect your chances.
The EZ Match odds alone are the best, with odds at 1 in 5. Buying another ticket is a great way to increase your chances, but only if your budget allows. One ticket alone could cost you three dollars a ticket with the addition of the add-ons.
The regular draw showcases prizes of $1, $10, $100, and whatever the current jackpot is set at the time of you purchasing a ticket. The Double Play uses the same odds as the regular draw, but now the prize amounts are doubled at $2, $20, $200. However, the jackpot is set at $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 |
