Arizona Lottery Pick 5 Ticket

© Judy Hedding

Pick 5 is an online Arizona Lottery. (It used to be called Fantasy 5). In this case, online doesn't mean it is on the Internet. It means that numbers are selected on a machine, as opposed to scratching a ticket. There are drawings six days per week, but the payouts are not quite as large as The Pick.

How is Pick 5 played?

Pick 5 tickets may be purchased every day. Drawings are held every evening Monday through Saturday.

How much can I win in the Pick 5 game?

The jackpot for each drawing of Pick 5 starts at $50,000. It grows, based on sales, until someone matches all 5 numbers and wins.

How do I select my numbers for Pick 5?

  • Let the computer select the numbers randomly. This is called a Quick Pick.
  • Fill out a selection slip at a participating retailer and choose your own five numbers, 1 through 39.

You can play the same numbers (or Quick Picks) up to 12 consecutive drawing dates on the same ticket. Just tell the retailer at the time of purchase or mark the appropriate box on your selection slip.

How do I know if I've won the Pick 5 game?

There are three ways to win Pick 5:
  • match 5 of 5 wins the jackpot (minimum $50,000)
  • match 4 of 5 wins $500
  • match 3 of 5 wins $5
  • match 2 of 5 wins $1

What is EXTRA?

That's an add-on game that lets you win instantly when you purchase a ticket. All EXTRA! numbers are automatically selected by the computer. All you have to do is check the EXTRA! box on the selection slip or tell the retailer you want to purchase the EXTRA! option. You may choose either the $1 or $2 EXTRA! option. Prizes vary based on the purchase price.

How do I find the winning numbers for Pick 5?

  • Channel 15 broadcasts the winning numbers at approximately 10:25 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday nights.
