How to Play Pick 4

$0.50Daily4 × [0–9] + 1 × [0–9]

Overview

Pick 4 is Missouri’s four-digit numbers game. Choose four digits from 0–9 and a play type (Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Front 3, Back 3, Front/Middle/Back Pair, or Combo) for 50¢ or $1. A $1 Straight pays $6,000 (1 in 10,000). Drawings are twice a day, every day: Midday around 12:45 p.m. and Evening around 8:59 p.m. CT. Wild Ball is an optional add-on that doubles the cost of your play.

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. Select 1 bonus number

    Choose 1 bonus number from 0 to 9. This ball is drawn separately from the main numbers.

  3. 3. Choose your play type

    Straight must match in exact order. Box pays by how many digits repeat (4-way, 6-way, 12-way, or 24-way). Front 3 or Back 3 matches three digits in order, and Front, Middle or Back Pair matches two. Combo buys every order of your digits for a Straight win.

  4. 4. Add Wild Ball (optional)

    A Wild Ball digit is drawn right after each Pick 4 drawing and can replace any one of the four winning digits to create more winning combinations.

  5. 5. 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.
