How to Play Fantasy 5

Fantasy 5 tickets can be purchased at any authorized lottery retailer in Florida, so it’s super easy to take part. So how does it actually work?

Choose your numbers

To play, first select five numbers between 1 and 36. Alternatively, choose the Quick Pick option on your playslip to have the lottery terminal generate a random set of numbers. Each playslip consists of 10 panels (labeled A-J), each representing a different entry.

If you manage to match 2 or more numbers, you’ve won a prize! Visit our Odds & Prizes page for a full breakdown.
