To play PICK 4, a player chooses between 1 and 5 "panels" on their payslip. Each panel can be considered as a "play" or "game". On each panel selected, a player can choose any 4 digit number between 0000 and 9999, or they can use the "Quick Pick" option to have the computer randomly select numbers for them.
Next, a player needs to select their play type. There are two main play types as listed below. It is important to note that a player can win both a "Straight" and a "Box" play on the same game, but only on a 50¢ play.
To win a "Straight" play, players need to match all 4 digits in exact order. This wins the top prize of $5,000.
There are 4 ways to win on a "Box" play as explained below. The win amounts shown here are based on a $1 play. For win amounts based on a 50¢ play, subtract 50% from these figures.
The "Wild Ball" is an addon for PICK 4. While the game rules and logic remains the same, the prize amounts for Wild Ball wins are lower, since it greatly increases a players odds of winning by allowing the player to replace any number from their base play with the Wild Ball.
The prize amounts for Wild Ball wins are shown below.
PICK 4 can be played at any PA Lottery retailer in Pennsylvania, additionally it can be played online at the official pailottery.com website.
