Fantasy 5 - 2nd Chance provides players with a second chance at winning thousands of dollars each week. Players receive one 2nd Chance code on their Fantasy 5 ticket. For EVERY $5 spent on Fantasy 5 in a single transaction, you will recieve one entry into the weekly Fantasy 5 - 2nd Chance draw. Fantasy 5 - 2nd Chance drawings occur weekly and offer three $10,000 prizes and twelve $1,000 prizes.
Draws are conducted within five business days of the entry deadline. Entry deadline is 11:59 pm every Saturday.
Five alternate codes are chosen and used only if a selected code is deemed to be ineligible or invalid.
No. You will receive one code on your Fantasy 5 ticket. Each code is good for one 2nd Chance draw entry per every $5 purchased on a single ticket. Each code will expire 180 days from the date of purchase. Please be aware of the code submission limitation policy. See other Fantasy 5 – 2nd Chance FAQs for more information on this policy.
Yes. Codes from Advance Play® are valid. However, to be eligible for an applicable 2nd Chance Draw, an entrant must submit an eligible code during the period designated in the rules for the applicable 2nd Chance Draw.
Winners will be notified by email to sign into the California Lottery website for "important information". Upon login to the winner's Lottery account, the winner will be notified of the winning prize. Winners must submit a Winner Claim Form in accordance with Lottery Regulations and procedures.
The odds of winning vary based on the total number of entries that are received for a drawing, the total number of prizes awarded for each draw and the total number of entries an individual has submitted.
Winners will be notified by email to sign into the California Lottery website for "important information." Once signed in, a link to the claim form needed to claim the prize will be available. You will be asked to download, complete and mail the claim form to the following address:
Please allow 8 weeks for receipt of your prize. Contact our Customer Service toll-free at 1-800-LOTTERY, Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. if you have any questions.
All prize payments of $600 or more are subject to Federal tax withholding and other offsets as required by law. However, there are no California state/local taxes withheld.
If you receive a message stating a code is invalid, please double check the code and re-submit. If you believe a valid code is not being accepted, please contact us. You can find the "Contact the Lottery" link at the bottom of the website and send us a message explaining the situation.
Yes. You may enter a draw as many times as you wish, however, be aware of the code submission limitation policy and each submission requires a new code.
No. For draws that have multiple prizes and prize levels, once selected as a winner for a specific prize, you cannot win another prize in that draw.
Any codes submitted after the entry deadline, 11:59 p.m. every Saturday, will automatically be entered into the draw for the following week. Entries are only good for one weekly draw.
Each time you submit a code, a record of your successful submission appears on the "My Submissions" page. All your entries appear on that page for your information and reference, so you can check the list against the codes you have. If the submission record is there, you can be assured that it is in the system.
No. Mail-in entries are not accepted for this promotion.
We see this as leveling the playing field. Every day we strive to ensure the integrity of all our games and promotions, including 2nd Chance. Unfortunately, some 2nd Chance participants actively search for other participants' discarded tickets, and in the past they have submitted thousands of codes into 2nd Chance. We are also aware that if a player purchases thousands of dollars in Lottery tickets a month, then this may be a strong indication of a problem gambling issue. As a World Lottery Association ceritifed Level 4 member, we want to curb potential problem gambling. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, please have them call the Problem Gambling toll-free hotline at 1-800-GAMBLER.
No. The limit applies to a combined total of all submissions – whether it’s all Fantasy 5 – 2nd Chance, all SuperLotto Plus 2nd Chance, all Scratchers 2nd Chance, or a combination of the three. Every code you submit counts toward your monthly limit of 500.
Your Lottery account shows you, real time, how many codes you’ve entered for the month, so you’ll be able to know when you’re getting close to the limit. The system will stop you from submitting more than 500 codes during the month.
The same limits apply for groups. The group will still only be able to input 500 codes per month.
Your session has timed out due to inactivity. This helps to ensure that your information remains safe.
If you want to submit codes into a 2nd Chance draw, you’ll need to sign in again.
