How to Play Fantasy 5

To play one of the hottest lottery games offered by the Michigan Lottery, simply visit your local lottery retailer or purchase tickets online. You must have an account created online if you wish to purchase this game. Whichever method you choose, simply select five numbers ranging from one to 39.

To spice up your ticket, you could add the Double Play feature that might offer more winning opportunities. This feature will use the same numbers currently on your ticket for an instant second drawing for just another dollar. The jackpot is $110,000 if you are able to match all five numbers in this feature.

Another add-on you could look into purchasing is EZmatch, which also costs a dollar. A number is given to you at the time of the draw, and you have to see if it is paired with the one that was drawn. Prizes and odds will vary here, up to $500.

Odds, Price, and Prizes for Fantasy 5

The odds for Fantasy 5 are favorable to players, with generally one in nine to win something. They can, however, become even greater if you add additional features to your ticket.

One of the best things to do to slightly increase your odds is to purchase another ticket. If your budget allows, buying another ticket can be rewarding.

If you purchase the EZ Match add-on, it offers the best opportunity to win a prize since the odds are currently one in five. Buying another ticket, in addition to the EZ Match, could prove to be worth it.

The regular drawing has prizes of $1, $10, $100, and the current jackpot value at the time of the ticket purchase. The Double Play has the same odds in comparison, but the prize amounts have been doubled ($2, $20, $200).
