Jackpot Won!
More Numbers Draw Payouts

Fantasy 5 is a fast-paced California lottery game where you only need to match two numbers to win a prize! The Fantasy 5 jackpot has even been known to go beyond $1 million.

Players choose five lucky numbers from 1 to 39, and wait for the next daily draw to see how many they matched. Each play costs $1, which is very low in comparison to other popular lottery games. If you pay for a ticket worth $5 or more (by using the Advance Play feature, for example), you'll also get a Fantasy 5 - 2nd Chance code, giving you an extra shot at winning.

Drawings take place daily at 6:30 PM (PT), immediately after ticket sales close. Remember to check the Fantasy 5 Winning Numbers page to see if you're a winner!
