In the early days of Fan 5, the prize pools and jackpots were larger than in later years. This might be attributable to the novelty aspect of the game, a lower frequency of draws, fewer other Lottery games being offered then, and perhaps additional factors. Thus, most "Max" records for payouts per draw and number of winners were set in the period between 1993 and 1994. The maximum Fantasy 5 jackpot of all time was established on 05-07-93 in the amount of $1.44 million. Only three weeks later - on 05-28-93 - 198,174 people set the all-time record for most winners per draw. And just a month thereafter, the highest number of jackpot winners ever [204] was recorded.

Most "Min" records, on the other hand, were established in the latter period. The minimum historical Fantasy 5 jackpot was set on 12-25-00 in the amount of $111,382 [* excluding 10-15-99, when the jackpot rolled over in the absence of a winner]. The minimum number of total winners per draw [10,336] was registered on 10-03-99, and the lowest number of jackpot winners ever [0] was recorded on 10-15-99. In fact, 15 Oct 1999 marks the only time when nobody won the jackpot.
