How to play Daily 4

Daily 4 Characteristics and rules

Daily 4 is one of the most entertaining games due to its different ways to play. To participate, you need to choose 4 digits from 0 to 9 which can be repeated. You win a prize if your numbers match up in any of the winning combinations.

Additionally, you can activate the Fireball option, independent of the way you have chosen to play your numbers. In each draw a Fireball from 0 to 9 is drawn. You can use this number to replace one of your numbers to match the winning combination, creating different combinations. If your numbers match with one of the Fireball combinations, you will win a prize from this category.

History of Daily 4

Daily 4 was held for the first time on October 1st, 2007. At that time, there were only two draws a day (day and night), and the first winning numbers were 4-2-1-5 (day draw) and 9-0-0-5 (night draw).

On August 9, 2013 the other two daily draws were incorporated and it has stayed the same since then. 

It was not until April 29, 2019 that the Fireball option was added. The first Fireball numbers were 2 (morning), 7 (day), 8 (evening and night). Previously, the extra number option was known as Sum It Up!

Daily 4 Ways to Play

  • Straight: you must match the winning combination in the exact same order. 
  • Box: in order to win, match the winning numbers, independent of the order. 
  • Straight/Box: this option allows you to combine the previous two. You win both if you match the numbers in order and if you don’t. According to your number combination and how many times you repeat the numbers, your prize will vary. 
  • Combo: with this option you can get the prize from the Straight category just by matching the winning numbers, no matter the order. The ticket price is bigger, therefore the prizes are also bigger. 
  • Front Pair/Mid Pair/Back Pair: you need to choose only two numbers from one of the pairs in your combination: first and second number (front pair), second and third number (mid pair) or third and fourth number (back pair). You will get a prize if your pair matches the same pair in the winning combination.
  • Fireball: this option will allow you to replace the Fireball number for one in the winning combination, in order to create different combinations. If your combination is already a winner (without the Fireball number), your prize will increase for each time the Fireball number is repeated in your combination.

Daily 4 Dates

Daily 4 is held four times a day, from Monday to Saturday. You can participate in any of them in the following schedules: 10:00 a.m., 12:27 p.m., 6:00 p.m., 10:12 p.m Central Time.

COMBINATION NUMBERS PRICE

24-WAY 4 different (f.e. 1-2-3-4) $12/24

Procedures
