How to Play
Five very important numbers need to be chosen that are in a range from 1 to 39. If you cannot decide on those five, you can allow the machine to pick them for you.
Adding on various features could earn you more prizes, such as the Double Play feature. This will use your numbers immediately again for a second drawing, with a jackpot at $110,000.
Another add-on to this game is EZmatch, which will allow you to win cash if you match up the number that is drawn. This prize can be as high as $500.
Each additional feature is a dollar extra on top of the dollar to play Fantasy 5. In total, this could cost you three dollars each time you play.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
The odds of winning a single prize is going to vary depending on the additional features that some players will decide to add. The outcome of these events are roughly the same, with odds generally at 1 in 9.
The regular drawing, for example, has overall odds of 1 in 9 while the EZ Match is 1 in 5. You could purchase a second ticket to increase these odds, but keep in mind the price.
The prizes for the regular drawing are either $1, $10, $100, and then the current jackpot at the time of your purchase.
The Double Play feature has the exact same odds as the regular drawing, but the prizes have doubled to $2, $20, $200, and then $110,000 for matching all five numbers.
Below are the EZmatch prizes and odds:
Prize – Odds
$500 – 1:84,000
$250 – 1:42,000
$100 – 1:14,000
