Scoring the Jackpot
The odds of winning the jackpot prize for Fantasy 5 are one in 575,757. Three winners taking home the big-ticket amount on the same day is a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
The two winners that took home $110,000 won using the Double Play, which uses your same numbers again for a second draw. As for the $100,000 winner, they won the jackpot straight up, but it is a smaller amount since the jackpot is supposed to be split between multiple winners.
How to Play
Players need to choose five numbers, either at random or interest, that span between one to 39. Buying more features like Double Play could provide
more winning opportunities.
Double Play, as mentioned above, uses the same numbers in a second draw immediately after the first. The jackpot has a set amount of $110,000.
The second feature to look into is EZmatch. This uses a specific number, given at the time of the draw, that you must match in order to win a prize. The prizes vary up to $500.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
Odds vary in this game, but generally are one in nine to win a single prize. The odds slightly change if you choose to add features or purchase another ticket.
The EZ Match prize has the best chance to win a prize at one in five. Buying another ticket could be a good opportunity for yourself, but only if your budget can potentially take a hit.
The regular draw has possible prize amounts of $1, $10, $100, and then the current jackpot at the time of your purchase. The Double Play has the same odds as the regular draw, but the prize amounts have been doubled ($2, $20, $200).
