How to Play Fantasy 5
Michigan Lottery players simply need to pick five numbers that range from one to 39. You can choose to purchase in store or online.
Double Play is one of two features to think about on your ticket that could potentially earn you more winning opportunities. It reuses the same numbers you currently selected for another drawing, but costs another dollar. The jackpot for this add-on, if you can successfully match all five numbers, is set at $110,000.
The other add-on to look at is EZmatch, which is also worth another dollar. A number prints out on your ticket when you purchase that must be paired to what is drawn in order to win any prizes. The prizes will range up to $500.
Odds, Price, and Prizes for Fantasy 5
The odds for Fantasy 5 are somewhat respectable at one in nine. Since you have the option to add onto your tickets, there will be various winning opportunities that could slightly change the odds. Looking at EZmatch, it showcases the best opportunity to win something at one in five.
If you buy another ticket, this can also slightly improve your odds. This might be needed to help you secure the jackpot since it has odds of one in 575,757. Each add-on costs a dollar, so this means you should consider a budget.
The prizes for the main draw are $1, $10, $100, and then the current jackpot during your purchase. Double Play has the same odds, but the prize amounts, of course, have been doubled ($2, $20, $200).
EZmatch prizes and odds are as follows:
| Prize | Odds |
|---|---|
| $500 | 1:84,000 |
| $250 | 1:42,000 |
