Fantasy 5 needs no introduction for Michigan Lottery players. This game is one of the most popular offerings that the Michigan Lottery features. On one day recently, there were two jackpot prizes awarded.
One jackpot prize was $148,314 by an Okemos resident who won online, while the other was a second chance $110,000 prize by a Melvindale local at a Tomboy Liquor shop. Below you can see how to play and potentially win one of those jackpots.

How to Play
Players simply pick five numbers ranging from one to 39 and wait for the drawing. There are more options to consider, such as Double Play, that could offer additional winning opportunities.
Double Play will use the same numbers once again for another instant drawing. The jackpot for this price is a set amount of $110,000.
EZmatch is another additional feature to add to your ticket. It uses a specific number that is given to you at the time of the draw.
Simply look for a match on your ticket to what is drawn in order to win a prize. The prizes are going to vary and range up to $500.
Odds, Price, and Prizes
Odds will vary on Fantasy 5, especially since the add-ons will slightly change the ticket if you add one or both features. Prizes, in general, are favored one in nine without any additional features.
The odds for EZ Match are the best odds to win a prize at one in five. If you decide to purchase another ticket, this could also slightly increase your odds. Each ticket costs $1, and the add-ons are $1 each, so keep in mind if you play multiple tickets.
If you simply play the regular draw, it has prizes of $1, $10, $100, and then the current jackpot for when you purchase the ticket. The Double Play offers the same odds compared to the regular draw, but these prize amounts are doubled ($2, $20, $200).
Below are the EZmatch prizes and odds:
| Prize | Odds |
|---|---|
| $500 | 1:84,000 |
| $250 | 1:42,000 |
| $100 | 1:14,000 |
| $50 | 1:4,942 |
| $20 | 1:2,100 |
| $15 | 1:1,293 |
