Fantasy 5 is by far one of the most popular lottery games provided by the Michigan Lottery. Recently, three jackpot prizes were split between players that happened to win big.
One of them was an online purchase, while the other two were in store. Below you can see where these prizes were bought and how you can win too.

Jackpots Left and Right
On April 16, Fantasy 5 had three winners that nearly evenly split the jackpot. One online winner was from Allen Park, which took home $142,337.
A second winner from Taylor purchased a ticket from an AML Gas station. They took home a total of $142,332.
A third winner from Garden City purchased their ticket from a Ford & Inkster Auto store. This ticket also turned out to be $142,332.
How to Play Fantasy 5
Players will select five numbers ranging from one and 39. There are other features to check out, like the Double Play, which could offer extra winning opportunities.
That feature uses the same numbers you just played for an instant-second drawing. The jackpot has a set amount of $110,000.
Another add-on to check out is EZmatch. The game gives you a specific number, given at the time of the purchase that you have to try to match in order to win a prize. The prizes for this will vary, up to $500 for the max.
Odds, Price, and Prizes for Fantasy 5
Odds vary greatly here, but generally, these prizes are favored one in nine. The odds will be slightly changed for the better or worse if you consider adding features or buy another ticket.
The EZ Match prize has the best odds at one in five. Purchasing another ticket is a great opportunity to slightly increase your chances, but only if you have the budget.
The regular draw has prizes of $1, $10, $100, and the current jackpot at the time of buying a ticket. The Double Play shares the same odds as the regular draw, but prize amounts have doubled ($2, $20, $200).
Below are the EZmatch prizes and odds:

| $500 | 1:84,000 |
| $250 | 1:42,000 |
