  Most likely, or that the store had two winners on the same day.

  If there had been only one winning ticket would the payout be twice as much as that?

  If yes, then why would anybody buy the same numbers 2 times?

  If the pay-out is always that much no matter how many tickets win then that is a good reason.

  Otherwise, maybe the clerk put the slip 2 times into the lottery terminal and kept 1 of them or sold it to somebody or the person who made the numbers kept both tickets.

  ha! great point LANTERN, maybe it pays off to buy tickets at high-volume lottery booth:) and count on an inability of a clerk to think too hard or have enough time to read minds (or a future) haha

  What state is this lottery game in? I am guessing, since it says Fantasy 5, it may be in Georgia or Florida? Is it one of those games where the top jackpot is split among all the winners? If so, I wouldn't see a need to buy more then one ticket. And since the it looks like both tickets came from the same place, it also looks like the jackpot was split among the two winning tickets. Of course, I might be reading it wrong.

  Your guess is as good as mine: Four States call their Cash-5 Game: Fantasy-5 (CA, FL, GA, MI)!

  It couldn't have been jackpotismine. The Massachusetts Pick 5 is named Mass Cash and it has a payout of $250 for 4 out of 5.  This is from the Mass. lottery website.

  Match	Probability	Top Prize
  All 5	1 in 324,632	$100,000
  4 of 5	1 in 2,164.21	$250
  3 of 5	1 in 74.63	$10

  • If two or more persons match all five winning numbers, the jackpot is shared equally among winning persons.
