How to Play

Pick 4 drawings are held daily. Buy your ticket by 9:30 p.m. on the day of the drawing. Tickets purchased after 9:30 p.m. on draw nights will be valid for the next drawing(s).

1.
Mark any four digits, 0 through 9, on a Pick 4 playslip using black or blue ink only.

OR


Select Quick Pick to randomly generate your Pick 4 numbers. You can play up to five different sets of numbers on each Pick 4 playslip (A-E) or ask the retailer for up to 10 Quick Pick $1 Straight plays on one ticket.

2. Decide how you want to play:

  • Straight: Match your four numbers in exact order to win. 
  • Box: Match your four numbers in any order to win.
  • Straight/Box: Combines a 50-cent Straight play plus a 50-cent Box play.
  • Combo: Equal to 4, 6, 12 or 24 Straight plays.
If no type of play is selected on the playslip, a Straight play will be generated by default.

3. Decide how much you want to wager:

  • You can play 50 cents or $1 per play.*
  • Straight/Box may only be played for $1.
  • Combo tickets cost 4 to 24 times the single play amount, depending upon the numbers selected.
*If no wager amount is selected on the playslip, a 50-cent play will be generated by default.

4. You can play your four-digit number for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 14 consecutive drawings by marking the appropriate box on the playslip for NUMBER OF DRAWINGS or ask the retailer for any number of consecutive drawings, up to 14.

OR

Play for any future day through the next six days by marking the appropriate box for ADVANCE PLAYS. Separate playslips must be completed for nonconsecutive advance plays.

Mark your choices on a Pick 4 playslip or tell your retailer what you want to play. Be sure to check your ticket before leaving the store!
