  • We draw winning numbers every day at 1:59 p.m. and 11:00 p.m.

play types

Pick 4 features more than one way to play! Check out the different ways:

  • Exact order: Play it straight! Match all four digits in the same order as drawn.
  • Any Order: Give yourself options! Match all four of the digits drawn, the order doesn't matter.
  • 50/50: The best of both worlds! Split a $1 play in half, $.50 on exact order and $.50 on any order.
  • Combo: Cover all the bases! Play $1 exact order on every possible combination of a 4 digit number.

play options

Want to play the same numbers for more than one draw on a single ticket? Well, you can! A MULTI-DRAW ticket lets you play up to 91 consecutive draws on one ticket. Please keep in mind that the ticket price increases for each draw you add.

Thinking ahead to a special date? You can buy a ticket for a future draw date. It's called a FUTURE draw and you can play up to 91 draws in the future

Love those numbers so much you want them on more than one ticket? You can REPEAT your play and have the same numbers printed on more than one ticket up to 20 times.

Simply tell your store clerk which option you want when you present your play slip. Keep in mind that playing in more than one draw increases the ticket price by the number of draws you choose.

14 chances to win every week

Pick 4 numbers are drawn twice a day, seven days a week. We have a little break between selling and drawing the numbers, so you can't buy tickets starting at 1:53 PM for that day's draw and again starting at 10:45 PM for that night's draw - just something to keep in mind if you're playing close to draw time.

watch the draws

You can watch the draws live twice a day at 1:59 PM and 11:00 PM by clicking the View Winning Numbers tab at the top of the page or check us out on Facebook. You can even watch them later…they stay on our site!
