And moreover, we do take the integrity of games very seriously, and our security team confirms that there was nothing out of the ordinary that happened on the night of the draw, claiming it to be a fair game! Moreover, the drawings for Fantasy 5 are held using a computerized random number generator, meaning there is quite less chance of any scam behind it. He also stated, "all of our draws happen under tight security, and we always have an independent auditor present for each draw as well to oversee the process," Becker continued that a lot of lottery players who are into numerology and certain lucky numbers, might have had a favorable night!

According to the California Lottery, the jackpot-winning tickets were sold in 15 counties across the state. And for this particular draw, there were approximately 104,572 winning tickets in total.
