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.
Tickets and Draws
Tickets cost $1 per play (or $2 if you opt for an EZmatch ticket!), and must be purchased up to 20 minutes before the draw you want to enter. After this cutoff, any tickets purchased will be entered into the following draw.
• Close time for Midday draw - 12:45 PM ET
• Close time for Evening draw - 10:55 PM ET
EZmatch Option
Want to win some instant cash? For an extra $1, you can add EZmatch to your Fantasy 5 ticket. In order to win, any of the EZmatch numbers printed on your ticket need to match any of your Fantasy 5 numbers. There are 11 prize tiers in total, with a top prize of $500.
Advance Play
Add the Advance Play option to your ticket if you want to enter multiple draws.
In Florida Fantasy 5, you are able to enter up to 30 consecutive days.
