Lottery players in the state of California know that winning the jackpots in games such as Mega Millions or SuperLotto Plus is extremely difficult. That's because the odds of winning are bad. Luckily, California Lottery offers a game that has relatively good odds of winning and it is called Fantasy 5.
Fantasy 5 is a game that costs to play and draws every day. To win the jackpot you must match 5 out of a total of 39 numbers. The odds of matching all five numbers with one ticket played are practically 1-in-575,000. Collate that to SuperLotto Plus, where the odds of winning on one ticket are practically 1-in-41-million, or Mega Millions, where the odds of winning with one ticket are practically 1-in-175-million, and you could see how the probability is much more in your favor.
Consider this - If you buy just one Mega Millions ticket and just one Fantasy 5 ticket, you 304 times more likely to win on the Fantasy 5 ticket. Crazy, isn't it?
Of course, with good odds of winning, the Fantasy 5 game also offers smaller prizes. The jackpot starts at ,000 and grows if nobody wins it. You'll never see the jackpot reach more than half a million dollars. Don't get me wrong, though, ,000 is a lot of money and it is far good to have a good chance of winning that than an awful chance of winning millions of dollars. Winning something is all the time good than winning nothing.
