The winning ticket was purchased at a Gate gas station located at 9540/100 San Jose Boulevard. The player utilized the Quick Pick option to select the numbers, a popular method among lottery players who prefer a random selection.

Details About the Game
Fantasy 5 drawings occur twice daily, at 1:05 p.m. and 11:15 p.m.. Ticket prices start at $1 per panel played, enabling players to choose five numbers from a range between 1 to 36. If preferred, players can opt for the Quick Pick selection, which allows the system to randomly generate numbers.
Each Fantasy 5 ticket gives players the chance to play up to 10 panels, thereby enhancing their respective odds of winning. Tickets can be purchased until 20 minutes before each drawing. Additionally, there is an option known as Advance Play, which allows a player to purchase tickets for up to 30 consecutive days. If players wish to participate in both the midday and evening draws, they will receive two separate tickets.
Understanding Prizes
The estimated prize for winning the Fantasy 5 game is typically $100,000, provided that no rolldowns occur. Rolldowns happen when there are no winners for a specific jackpot, allowing the prize money to be distributed among players who match fewer numbers.
