Beginning Monday and continuing through Wednesday, April 3, players who purchase a Fantasy 5® ticket of $5 or more will receive a voucher that contains a unique number to be entered on the Florida Lottery's website for a chance to win a trip to New York to attend the first day of the 2013 professional football draft on April 25, 2013.
