Play Responsibly
Playing responsibly is all about playing within your means.
a step-by-step guide to your game
Visit any Florida Lottery retail location for a paper play slip to choose your numbers. Every FANTASY 5® play slip allows you to play up to ten panels, with each panel equaling one ticket. Tickets can be purchased up to 20 minutes before the applicable drawing (12:45 p.m., ET for the midday drawing, and 10:55 p.m., ET for the evening drawing). Tickets purchased after the applicable timeframe will be for the next available draw.
Choose a panel and select five numbers from 1 through 36—or mark the Quick Pick box in the panel and let the terminal pick some or all of your numbers at random. Select the draw time. Select MID for the midday drawing (1:05 p.m., ET), EVE for the evening drawing (11:15 p.m., ET), or BOTH for both the midday and evening drawings. If no draw time is marked, the terminal will automatically print a ticket for the next available draw. If BOTH are selected, two separate tickets will print ‐ one for the midday drawing and one for the evening drawing.
Submit your play slip to your Florida Lottery retailer and receive your official printed FANTASY 5® ticket with your numbers, draw date(s), and any add-ons. You’ll need this ticket to claim any prizes, so keep it safe!
To play the same numbers for more than one draw, select the number of advance draws you wish to play in the Advance Play section at the top of your play slip. If you claim a prize on a winning Advance Play ticket before all of the draws on the ticket have occurred, you will be issued a continuation ticket for the remaining draws with the same play numbers as the original ticket.
Fantasy 5 offers 2 daily draws Advance Play. To Advance Play the same numbers, players can purchase up to 30 consecutive days (A total of up to 60 consecutive drawings). Simply tell the retailer how many advance days you wish or select the number of days in the Advance Play section of your playslip. The time of a FANTASY 5 ticket purchase will determine the Advance Play draw selection (MID/EVE) if a player does not select a time when using a playslip.
