How to Play Pick 4

$0.50Daily4 × [09]

Overview

Maryland Pick 4 is a four-digit daily numbers game (0000–9999). Play Straight, Box, Straight & Box, or Combo. Wager 50¢ or $1 per panel. Drawings are twice daily — midday and evening — seven days a week. No FIREBALL in Maryland.

How to play — step by step

  1. 1. Select 4 numbers

    Choose 4 numbers from 0 to 9, or mark Quick Pick and let the terminal choose.

  2. 2. Choose a bet type

    Straight is exact order. Box covers any order (4-way, 6-way, 12-way, or 24-way depending on repeating digits). Straight & Box combines both on one $1 ticket.

  3. 3. Choose how many drawings

    Pay $0.50 per play (add-ons cost extra). Tell the retailer how many consecutive drawings you want, or mark Advance Play on the slip.
