Florida Administrative Code › 53 - DEPARTMENT OF THE LOTTERY › 53 - Departmental › Chapter 53ER23 - EMERGENCY RULE FOR YEAR 2023 › Section 53ER23-14 - FANTASY 5®

Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) How to Play
				FANTASY 5®.
(a)
				FANTASY 5 is a Draw lottery game (also known as an online terminal game in
				which players select five numbers from a field of one (1) to thirty-six
				(36).
(b) For purposes of this
				rule, a "playslip" is defined as an original paper playslip issued and approved
				by the Florida Lottery for the FANTASY 5 game, or a digital playslip for the
				FANTASY 5 game generated using the Florida Lottery Mobile Convenience App
				("App"). Except where necessary herein to differentiate between a paper
				playslip and a digital playslip, the term "playslip" shall be inclusive of both
				types of playslips.
(c) Players may
				make their FANTASY 5 ticket selections by: using a playslip; using a Florida
				Lottery vending machine ("vending machine"), if a vending machine for Draw game
				ticket purchases is available at the retailer location; by telling the retailer
				their desired selections; or by requesting to use the Play it Again
				feature.
(d) Playslip.
1. Paper Playslip. There are ten panels on a
				paper FANTASY 5 playslip. Each panel played will cost $1.00 per drawing.
				Players may mark their desired numbers on the paper playslip by selecting five
				numbers on each panel played or may mark the "Quick Pick" box located at the
				bottom of each panel for the terminal to randomly select one or more of the
				five numbers. A "Void" box is also located at the bottom of each panel and
				should be marked by the player if an error was made in his or her selections in
				a panel. Players may mark the $5 "Quick Picks" box to receive one ticket with
				five sets of five randomly selected numbers for the next available FANTASY 5
				drawing; or may mark the $10 "Quick Picks" box to receive one ticket with ten
				sets of five randomly selected numbers for the next available drawing. Players
				may mark the $5 Quick Picks box or $10 Quick Picks box in addition to panel
				plays.
To choose a draw time, players will mark "MID" (Midday draw),
				  "EVE" (Evening draw), or "BOTH" (both Midday and Evening draws). If no draw
				  time is chosen, the play will be for the next available drawing. If the MID,
				  EVE, or BOTH box is marked and a $5 or $10 Quick Picks (for next draw) box is
				  also marked, the MID, EVE, or BOTH choice will be overridden, and the $5 or $10
				  Quick Picks will be for the next available drawing. Midday and Evening draws
				  played will print on separate tickets.
Players may also add EZmatch[TM]
				  by marking the applicable EZmatch box in a panel on a playslip. EZmatch costs
				  an additional $1.00 per play. Marking the EZmatch box in a panel will add
				  EZmatch to only the panel marked. Each panel played with EZmatch will be
				  printed on a separate ticket.
Paper playslips must be Florida Lottery approved and players
				  must use only blue or black ink or pencil for making selections. Paper
				  playslips may be processed through a vending machine or processed by a Florida
				  Lottery retailer to obtain a ticket.
2. Digital Playslip. How to Create a Digital
				Playslip. From the Landing Page on the Mobile App, a player should select the
				FANTASY 5 game icon and then click on "Pick Numbers." For each panel played,
				the player should either select his or her numbers from a field of numbers
				described in paragraph (1)(a) or use the "Random Numbers" or "Shake to Play"
				feature for the App to provide the player random numbers. Up to ten panels may
				be created on one digital playslip.
A Player will choose a draw time by selecting "MID" (Midday
				  draw), "EVE" (Evening draw), or "BOTH" (both Midday and Evening draws). A
				  player may also select the number of Advance Play days, if more than the
				  default of the next available draw is desired.
If a player desires to add EZmatch to all panels played, he
				  or she should click the EZmatch button so that "yes" is selected. Each panel
				  played will include EZmatch and will print on a separate ticket. Players may
				  also use the "My Favorites" feature to save the digital playslip for later use.
				  Once a digital playslip is created and the player clicks "Create Playslip, " a
				  barcode will be displayed. The player may present the barcode appearing on his
				  or her mobile device to purchase a ticket through the retailer terminal or may
				  use the barcode to purchase a ticket through a vending machine that provides
				  for Draw game purchases. Illustrative instructions for creating a FANTASY 5
				  digital playslip are available by clicking on the "How to Play" button on main
				  FANTASY 5 page.
(e) Advance Play. Players may play up to
				thirty consecutive FANTASY 5 days by using the "Advance Play" feature. To use
				the Advance Play feature, players may either select the number of days on a
				playslip or tell the retailer their desired number of consecutive advance days.
				The number of consecutive days marked will include the next available drawing
				and will apply to each panel played. When a draw time choice of MID, EVE, or
				BOTH is marked, the time/s chosen will apply to all Advance Play days chosen.
				For paper playslips, if none of MID, EVE, or BOTH is chosen, the upcoming draw
				time will apply to each Advance Play day. For example, if a player purchases a
				ticket at 9:00 a.m., chooses five (5) Advance Play days, but makes no draw time
				choice, the player will receive a ticket listing the next five Midday (MID)
				plays because the purchase was made before the Midday draw. If the same
				purchase is made after the closing ticket purchase time for the Midday draw, a
				ticket will print listing the next five Evening (EVE) draws. Regardless of the
				number of Advance Play days chosen, a single ticket will print showing either
				all Midday plays or all Evening plays (i.e., Midday and Evening draws print on
				separate tickets.) For paper playslips, Advance Play will not apply to
				selections when the $5 or $10 Quick Picks box is marked.
In the event that a planned change in the FANTASY 5 game
				  requires that the number of advance plays available for purchase be reduced to
				  zero before implementation of the change, an Advance Play countdown schedule
				  will be posted on the Florida Lottery's website at
www.flalottery.com
.
(f) Vending Machine. If a vending machine is
				available at a retailer location and the vending machine provides for Draw game
				purchases, the vending machine may be used by a player to process both paper
				and digital FANTASY 5 playslips. Neither a retailer nor a player can process
				the cancellation of a FANTASY 5 ticket through a vending machine. At the
				request of a player, the retailer shall make a good faith effort to cancel
				cancelable FANTASY 5 tickets that are purchased through a vending machine by
				using the retailer's lottery terminal in accordance with the cancellation
				provisions in paragraph (7)(e).
(g)
				Telling the Retailer. Retailers also are authorized to manually enter numbers
				selected by a player. Players electing to make their FANTASY 5 ticket
				selections by verbally telling the retailer must specify their desired number
				selections (or tell the retailer they desire to use the Quick Pick feature for
				the terminal to randomly select one or more of the numbers), the drawing time
				(MID, EVE, or BOTH), and the number of days. If no draw time is given, the play
				will be for the next available draw. Players may also tell the retailer if they
				would like to add EZmatch to their ticket.
(h) Play it Again.
1. A player may request to "Play it Again" to
				replay a previously purchased FANTASY 5 ticket. If requested, a retailer shall
				process the original ticket provided by the player and print a new ticket which
				will have the same selected numbers, number of panels, draw time choices, and
				number of days as the original ticket, except as provided in subparagraph
				(1)(h)2., below. Additionally, if the original ticket contains EZmatch, the new
				ticket will also contain EZmatch.
2. An original ticket with Advance Play will
				be rejected and cannot be replayed if the number of days/drawings on the ticket
				exceeds the number of advance play days/drawings that are available at the time
				of requested ticket replay due to implementation of an advance play countdown
				for the FANTASY 5 game. Tickets older than sixty days cannot be replayed.
				Cancelled tickets will also be rejected. Tickets purchased using the Play it
				Again feature have the same cancellation provisions as the original
				ticket.
