To play Georgia Fantasy 5, you need to select five numbers from 1 to 42 and make sure you get your entries in before the next drawing. Here’s more about how it works:
Drawings take place every night at 11:34pm, but the closing time for buying tickets is 10:45pm, so you need to make sure you get your entries in early. If you miss the deadline, you will have to wait to enter the next day’s game.
You can select your own five numbers from 1 to 42 or opt for a Quik Pik if you want to let the computer choose for you. Another way to get a random set is to use the Number Generator first, then you can decide if you like them before you play.
You can choose to enter your numbers in just the next drawing or play them in 14 in a row. This multi-draw option means you don’t have to worry about buying a ticket every day. It costs $1 per play to take part in Fantasy 5.
For an extra $1 per play you can add Ca$h Match to your ticket. This is an instant game which gives you the chance to win up to $500 at the point when you purchase your Fantasy 5 ticket. You don’t even have to wait for a drawing to take place.
You win a prize in Georgia Fantasy 5 if at least two of your five numbers match the winning numbers. If all five are the same, you win the jackpot, which starts at $125,000 and gets bigger if it is not won. The top prize regularly climbs into nine figures and a new record was set in September 2020 when a ticket holder from Claxton banked more than $2.3 million.
The prizes work on a pari-mutuel basis, so the payouts vary from draw to draw. A percentage of the prize fund is given to each category and is then split between winners. The exception is if you match two numbers, in which case you will always receive the same standard prize - a free play.

If you select Ca$h Match for an extra $1 per play, five random numbers from 1 to 42 will be generated and printed on the lower portion of your ticket, along with a cash value between $1 and $500.
