Fantasy 5 Odds and Prizes
With every Fantasy 5 draw, you have four chances to win as there are four prize categories. The jackpot can be won by matching all five winning numbers, and it can start at an amount between $60,000 and $80,000.
The first prize will roll over until someone matches all the winning numbers, and there is no jackpot cap or rollover limit.
In California, all prizes are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis. What does this mean? The prize amounts depend on the number of tickets sold and on the number of winners.
