Players who purchase a single $5.00 or more FANTASY 5® or FANTASY 5® with EZmatch ticket at a Florida Lottery (or “Lottery”) retailer location will receive an entry voucher with a unique number that can be entered into a team drawing in one of five participating college team “Fan Experiences” on the Florida Lottery’s website for a chance to win college football prizes.

    (b) The entry voucher will be attached to the bottom of the FANTASY 5 ticket. The voucher entry number is located at the bottom on the front of the voucher. Players are to enter the first 13-digits of the 19-digit voucher entry number.

FANTASY 5 tickets cannot be used for entry into the drawings. The odds of winning depend on the number of entries received.  Entry vouchers should not be mailed to the Lottery unless players are contacted by the Florida Lottery and requested to do so. Entry vouchers or tickets received in the mail by the Florida Lottery will not be entered into a drawing and will not be returned. Cancellation of a qualifying FANTASY 5 ticket will also cancel the associated entry voucher and the voucher number will be ineligible for entry into a drawing. A voucher number associated with a cancelled FANTASY 5 ticket that is entered into a drawing will be disqualified.
