I wonder why this Fantasy 5 winner is so newsworthy? Yeah, they make a lot of bottled water in Zephyrhills, but still. Fantasy 5 has has plenty of quarter-million dollar winners.
You only need one ticket to win. But you'll win more with one hundred.

Ohio Rolling Cash5 may have a $383,000 winner tonight and if it is me I would think it would be news worthy. * Trying is the first step toward failure *

That is a nice amount of money. I know when Fantasy 5 in GA is sizable it does get talked about. That could be why the story made news.

The Fantasy 5 in GA used to have large JP's but since they started awarding a free QP play for matching 2 of 5, the JP gets hit MUCH more often with lower amounts. As low as $13 K and the highest I've seen recently is $300K. We have not seen a Million dollar JP in a very long time. Prior to the change, it was fairly regularly. DD

Is the EZ match starting to lose it's appeal? The jackpot was averaging over $300,000.00 every night. Now it's on a downward trend. It won't be too long before it's back to the old averages of $175,000.00 to $200,000.00 per draw again. They should take the money they made off of the EZ match and pad the jackpot for the Fantasy 5.

As low as $13 K and the highest I've seen recently is $300K. We have not seen a Million dollar JP in a very long time. Prior to the change, it was fairly regularly. DD The free QP prize definately had something to do with it (and was something they needed for a long time). But the primary reason is the fact so much of money that once went to the jackpot now goes to the 3/5 and 4/5 prizes. A smaller % of sales in the jackpot means smaller rollovers and smaller jackpots. But really, most of us will probably never win a jackpot of any kind, but we will most likely win a 3/5 here and there (if we play). So I like it when the winnable amounts get a good chunk of the prize pool.
