Lottery's Fantasy 5 debutby Commissioner Gary Peters
This fantastic new game debuts September 12, 2004. Fantasy
5 offers players a chance to win a $100,000 daily jackpot that grows
daily by at least $5,000 until someone matches all five numbers to win
the jackpot prize. The Fantasy 5 jackpots will be about 10 times more than
the average $11,100 Michigan Rolldown jackpot. When a player hits the
jackpot, then the next Fantasy 5 drawing will start with a $100,000
jackpot. The new Fantasy 5 is our “little Lotto,” with
lots of chances for players to win. We have never offered a game quite
like this before and it is sure to quickly become a player favorite. Players will select five numbers from a pool of 39.
The new Fantasy 5 offers players great odds of winning a huge jackpot
prize every single day, not to mention the fantastic guaranteed cash
prizes. The daily match two and three winners are sure to turn
some of their winnings into additional Lottery sales, creating a win-win
situation for both you and your customers. I encourage you to prominently
display your point-of-sale materials for this great new game. Fantasy 5 is replacing Michigan Rolldown. The last drawing
for Rolldown will be on Saturday, September 11, 2004. After the August 23, 2004, Michigan Rolldown drawing,
the maximum number of multi-draw wagers available will decrease daily
by one until the final drawing on Saturday, September 11. Fantasy 5
goes on sale the following day, with the first drawing being held the
same day at 7:29 p.m. As was the case with Michigan Rolldown, Fantasy 5 drawing results will be announced daily at 7:29 p.m. during the live television broadcast. Mega Millions winner Larry Campbell, 63, of Pullman, picked up his check
for $19,128,233 as the sole winner of the July 23 Mega Millions $47
million jackpot. Campbell elected to take his winnings in a lump sum
payment. Campbell, who has been playing the Michigan Lottery
since it was first established, chooses his own numbers. The winning
Gold Mega Ball number, 12, is his daughter’s birthdate. The lucky retailer who sold that $47 million jackpot winning ticket was Al’s Total, 5624 19th Ave., in Pullman. The owner of Al’s Total earned a $2,000 commission for the jackpot-winning ticket he sold. Instant ticket coupon Your customers are not the only ones who will benefit
