Fantasy 5 is a pari-mutuel game in which players win the top prize by matching 5-of-5 winning numbers drawn in any order. Additionally, players win cash prizes or a free Quick Pick ticket by matching two, three or four numbers drawn in the official drawing for the date played.
If there is no top prize winner, the money in the top prize pool rolls down and is shared among players who match 4-of-5 or 3-of-5 winning numbers.
Since the game's inception, more than 486 million Fantasy 5 winners have won more than $3.2 billion in prizes, according to the Florida Lottery. Of these, 46,733 players won top prizes totaling more than $1.9 billion.
