How to Play FANTASY 5
Daydream about what you would do with a fantasy prize of around $100,000. And, if there is no top-prize winner, that amount rolls down to the 4-of-5 prize level. FANTASY 5 has lots of winners. You can win a free ticket for matching just two numbers.
1. Pick five numbers from 1 through 36 on your FANTASY 5 play slip.
2. Or mark the Quick Pick box and let the terminal randomly pick some or all of your numbers.
3. You can play up to five panels on each play slip. Each play costs $1.
4. You can play the same numbers for more than one drawing. To play up to 30 consecutive drawings, mark the Advance Play area on your play slip, or tell the retailer how many advance draws you wish to play.
Drawings are held seven days per week at approximately 11:15 p.m. Eastern Time and carried on 13 Lottery Affiliate TV Stations. You can purchase tickets until 10:40 p.m. Eastern Time for that night's draw. You can claim your prizes beginning at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time the following morning.
If you claim a prize on a winning Advance Play ticket before all of the draws on the ticket have occurred, you will be issued a continuation ticket for the remaining draws with the same play numbers as the original ticket.
All prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the applicable draw date.
How to Win in FANTASY 5
Players win FANTASY 5 prizes by matching in any order two, three, four, or five of the winning numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played. FANTASY 5 is a pari-mutuel game. Actual prize amounts depend on sales and the number of winners in each prize category. All FANTASY 5 prizes are paid in a single cash payment. If there is no top-prize winner, the money in the top-prize pool rolls down, and is shared equally among winners in the 4-of-5 number prize category. When 2-of-5 number winning tickets are redeemed, the On-line gaming terminal automatically will print free Quick Pick ticket prizes for the next available draw.
Appropriate federal income taxes will be withheld from FANTASY 5 prizes $5,000 and greater at the time payments are made.
