Pick Your Numbers

The simplest step of Pick 4 is to pick four numbers! This can be any four-digit number between 0000 to 9999. Choose them randomly, sentimentally or through statistics - completely up to you!

Select a Wager Type
Select a Play Type

You can change up your game by choosing between four different play types: Straight, Box, Straight/Box and Combo. Select which one you want to play on your ticket. You can read up on what each one does on our Ways to Play page.

Choose Your Wager Amount
Different Wager Amounts

Choose how much to pay for your ticket with different wager amounts! You can bet either $0.50 or $1 (combo play will cost more as you are purchasing multiple straight plays). Bet more and the prizes will be bigger!

Add The Fireball Option
Play the Fireball

The Fireball is an extra number which is randomly selected after the main draw. If you selected this option on your payslip then you can use the Fireball to replace one of your numbers and create new winning combinations. It will cost double your play.

Optional Plays

Multiple drawings

Play the same numbers in either 14 or 28 consecutive draws to avoid having to purchase a ticket for each one separately.

Advance Drawings

You can play a draw date any day in the future by marking it on your payslip. You just have to mark down which day of the week you want to play as well as the draw time.

What you can win

You can win as much as $5,000 in Pick 4 (even more if you add the Fireball option). All the play types have different payouts and odds of winning. Check them all out under our Odds and Prizes page.
