Exact
Order
To try for the $5,000 top prize, play Exact Order.
If your four-digit number comes up in exactly
the same order in the drawing, you win $5,000
for each $1 you wagered on that exact number.
You win $2,500 for a 50-cent wager.
Any
Order
There are up to 24 winning combinations, and several different prizes, when you play Pick 4 Any Order and your number is drawn. Your prize depends on the number you choose. If you play Any Order with a number that has four different digits (1234, for example), your prize would be $200 if you won with a $1 Any Order wager.
If you play Any Order with a number that has at least two matching digits, your prize would be higher, because those numbers are more difficult to match.
Here are the four ways you can win when you play Pick 4 any Order. (Check the chart below for more details about Pick 4 prizes.)
- 4-way number (example: 1112) -
3 digits are the same, one is different
$1,200 prize for a $1 Any Order wager
- 6-way number (example: 1122) -
2 pairs of matching digits
$800 prize for a $1 Any Order wager
- 12-way number (example: 1123) -
1 pair of matching digits, 2 other different digits
$400 prize for a $1 Any Order wager
- 24-way number (example: 1234) -
all 4 digits are different
$200 prize for a $1 Any Order wager
50/50
For each $1 wager, 50 cents goes to Exact Order
and 50 cents goes to Any Order. If you match the
number drawn in Exact Order, you would win $2,500
(top prize for a 50-cent Exact Order wager) PLUS
the 50-cent Any Order prize for your number. If
you match the number drawn in a different order,
you would win the Any Order prize for that number.

Popular numbers sell out sometimes. Buying Pick 4 numbers is similar to buying tickets to a ball game or a concert: Any number could sell out. If you buy Pick 4 tickets early in the day, or in advance, you should be able to get the number you want.
For a Pick 4 drawing, 1,200 Exact Order tickets are available for each number. If a sold-out Pick 4 number is drawn, the Lottery would pay $6 million in prizes for that sold-out number. A sold-out number has the same chance of winning as any other number. |
