Fantasy 5 Prize Perk: If no one wins the top prize, it “rolls down” to the 4-of-5 and 3-of-5 prize levels! So, you don’t necessarily have to match all five numbers to win the top prize!
How to Play FANTASY 5
Choose five numbers from 1–36. You can Quick Pick or choose your own lucky numbers. Five out of 36 numbers will be drawn at random. If your five numbers match the five winning numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date and time played, you win the FANTASY 5 top prize!
The game is called FANTASY 5 because the prize rules are seriously dreamy: If there is no top prize winner, the money in the top prize pool rollllllls down and is shared equally among winners in the 4-of-5 prize level (with a maximum prize of $555 per winner). If the available rolldown exceeds the $555 per winner maximum in the 4-of-5 prize level, the excess funds in the prize pool rolls down and are shared equally among the winners in the 3-of-5 prize level. Pretty sweet, right?
