Michigan Fantasy 5 Number Generator

Fantasy 5 is an in-state draw game run by the Michigan Lottery (the Bureau of State Lottery), whose stated mission is to raise money for the state's School Aid Fund. It is sold only in Michigan: at Lottery retailers across the state and online at michiganlottery.com, where buyers must be at least 18, Michigan residents and physically inside the state when they buy.

The game went on sale on September 12, 2004, replacing Michigan Rolldown, a 5-of-33 game launched in February 2000. Rolldown had itself replaced Cash 5, which in March 1992 was the Lottery's first 5-of-39 game, so Fantasy 5 brought the 39-number field back. The format has stayed 5 of 39 for a $1 play ever since. Two add-ons joined later: EZmatch on April 13, 2014, and Double Play in January 2019. Online play started in January 2016.

In the fiscal year that ended on September 30, 2025, the Lottery reported $47.1 million in Fantasy 5 sales, plus $9.5 million for Double Play and $2.3 million for EZmatch.

Each night the Lottery draws five different numbers from 1 to 39. Order doesn't matter, so a line wins on how many of its five numbers appear in that set. The drawing takes place every day of the week, Sunday through Saturday, at 7:29 p.m. (Michigan time), and the results are shown on partner TV stations including WDIV-TV 4, WNEM-TV 5, WLUC-TV 6 and WGN-TV.

Sales for that night's drawing stop at 7:08 p.m., both in store and online. Store terminals start selling tickets for the next night's draw at 7:10 p.m., and online sales for the next draw open right after the 7:08 p.m. cut-off. If you add Double Play, a second set of five numbers is drawn from the same 1-39 pool immediately after the main drawing, so the same line can win in one drawing, the other or both.

A Fantasy 5 play costs $1.00. A store playslip holds up to 10 panels, and the multi-draw area lets one ticket cover up to 60 consecutive nightly drawings. If you want the same numbers again, ask the clerk for a Replay within 31 days of the original ticket. Tickets can't be canceled once printed, so check the numbers and draw count before you pay.

Two optional add-ons are sold with store tickets:

• Double Play costs $1.00 more per panel, per draw. It enters the same numbers in the extra drawing, where the lower prizes are doubled and the top prize is a fixed $110,000.
• EZmatch costs $1.00 more per ticket. Five EZmatch numbers print under your Fantasy 5 numbers, each with a prize beside it. If any of them matches any of your own numbers, in any order, you win that amount on the spot, from $2 up to $500, before the evening drawing.

Online, Easy Pick comes in packs of $5, $10 or $15 (5, 10 or 15 random tickets). Pick My Numbers takes your own five. Combo My Numbers takes 6 to 10 numbers and buys every five-number combination: 6 lines for 6 numbers, 21 for 7, 56 for 8, 126 for 9 and 252 for 10, at $1 each. Online buyers can also save a Favorite Purchase and subscribe to upcoming draws. The first subscription charge covers two weeks, and after that you're billed weekly, one week ahead.

There are 575,757 ways to choose 5 numbers from 39, and exactly one of them hits the jackpot. Of the other combinations, 170 match four numbers (5 ways to keep four winners times 34 losing numbers), 5,610 match three and 59,840 match two. That is 65,621 winning combinations in all, or 1 in 8.77, which the Lottery rounds to 1 in 9. Matching a single number pays nothing. Double Play uses the same odds because its numbers come from the same 1-39 pool.

Jackpot rules: the jackpot starts at $100,000 and grows by at least $5,000 after every drawing nobody wins, rolling until someone matches all five. The $100, $10 and $1 prizes are fixed amounts. When two or more tickets match all five, they split the jackpot equally. The Fantasy 5 jackpot is paid in one lump sum, and there is no annuity option. The Double Play top prize is a fixed $110,000 that winners share if there are several. The official rules don't describe any rolldown, even though the game Fantasy 5 replaced was called Rolldown.

EZmatch is settled when the ticket prints, not at 7:29 p.m.: the prize sits next to the matching EZmatch number. The Lottery's published odds per $1 EZmatch play are:

EZmatch doesn't change your Fantasy 5 odds: the five main numbers still go into the nightly drawing as usual.

Sign the back of your ticket first: until it's signed, whoever holds it can claim it. Fantasy 5 prizes expire one year after the draw date, even if that day falls on a weekend or holiday. Where you claim depends on the amount:

• $999.99 or less, which covers every $1, $10, $100 and $200 win and all EZmatch prizes: any Michigan Lottery retailer, though stores aren't obliged to pay.
• Up to $99,999.99: by appointment at a Lottery Claim Center (Lansing, Livonia, Sterling Heights, Detroit, Grand Rapids or Saginaw), at partner banks in the northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula, or by mail to P.O. Box 30023, Lansing, MI 48909.
• $100,000 or more, which means every Fantasy 5 jackpot and the $110,000 Double Play top prize: in person at Lottery headquarters, 101 E. Hillsdale Street, Lansing, after booking with Player Relations at 844-917-6325.

Wins of $999.99 or less on online tickets go straight into your Lottery account. From $1,000 you need a photo ID and Social Security card, and state debts are deducted under MCL 432.32. A W-2G is issued from $2,000. Above $5,000, the Lottery withholds 24% federal and 4.25% Michigan tax, so every jackpot has tax taken out before it's paid. Michigan law also requires a winner's written consent before naming anyone who wins $10,000 or more on Fantasy 5.

Press Generate for one to ten random 5-of-39 lines. In a store, copy each line onto a Fantasy 5 playslip panel, or simply mark Easy Pick and let the terminal choose. Online, type the line into Pick My Numbers. Either way, it has to be in before 7:08 p.m. for that night's drawing. A general walkthrough is in our quick pick guide, and we explain why no tool can predict a Fantasy 5 draw.
