How to Play
Fantasy 5 is one of the hottest games available to Michigan Lottery players. For players that do not play often, Fantasy 5 has the potential to be your next favorite.
To begin, players will need to choose five numbers in a range from one to 39. You could also allow the machine to select for you.
There are extra features available to your ticket, like the Double Play. This add-on will use the same numbers you just selected for another drawing on the spot. The jackpot for the Double Play is set at $110,000.
One more add-on to look into is EZmatch. This feature is simply a number to look for at the time of the draw that you must match with your ticket in order to win a prize. The prizes will vary up to the maximum of $500.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The odds will vary whenever you purchase a Fantasy 5 ticket, as these prizes will typically favor a one in nine chance to land a prize. Do not worry, though; the odds can slightly change if you decide to add features or purchase another ticket.
The odds are the best with the EZ Match, with current odds of one in five. Buying an additional ticket is a great opportunity to increase your chances of winning, but make sure your budget can handle it.
For the regular draw, it currently sports prizes of $1, $10, $100, and the current jackpot at the time of buying a ticket. The Double Play showcases the same exact odds as compared to the regular draw, but the prize amounts are now doubled ($2, $20, $200).
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 |
