There are drawings twice per day, seven days a week. The midday drawing is at 1:30 PM ET, and the evening drawing is at 9:45 PM ET. You may purchase tickets for the next drawing up to 10 minutes before it takes place - so get your tickets by 1:20 PM to play that day's midday draw and 9:35 PM to play that evening's draw.

How much could you win playing Pick 4? These are the highest amounts you could win for the selected wager amount and play style:

  • $1 Straight play: win the top prize of $5,000
  • $1 Box play: win up to $1,198
  • Straight/Box play: win up to $3,099
  • $1 Front Pair, Mid Pair or Back Pair play: win $50

What are the odds of winning Pick 4? The odds vary between 1 in 100 and 1 in 10,000, depending on which play type you choose.

How to Play

Grab your playslip and take a look. It's got five panels, each with a letter, A-E. Each panel is a single play. For each panel you want to play, choose one number from 0 through 9 from each column, so you have a total of four digits. You could also mark QP to have Quick Pick randomly select some or all of the numbers.

To play Front Pair, choose numbers from the first two columns. For Mid Pair, pick numbers from the middle two columns. For a Back Pair play, choose numbers from the last two columns.

Choose your play type: Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Combo, Front Pair, Mid Pair, or Back Pair.

You can play for a minimum of 50 cents. All Straight/Box plays cost $1. Combo plays cost between $2 and $24.

Choose the draw time you want to play: MID for midday, EVE for evening, or BOTH for both draws. If you choose BOTH, you'll receive two tickets, one for the midday and one for the evening draw. If you don't select a draw time, you'll receive a ticket for the next available draw.

With Advance Play, you can play your favorite numbers, play types, and draw times for up to 14 consecutive days - just mark the number of days you want to play in the "Days" area.

If you want to claim a prize from a winning Advance Play ticket that still has future drawings left on it, you will be issued a continuation ticket with the same numbers and play types for the remaining draws.

Fireball

Fireball can make your Pick 4 play hot, hot, hot with more ways to win great prizes. Fireball is an add-on option that doubles the cost of your ticket and applies to all panels played.

Here's how it works: A Fireball number is drawn twice a day right after the main draws, and can replace any Pick 4 number drawn for more ways to create a winning match. You can win on Pick 4, Fireball, or even both!

Pick 4 Prizes and Odds of Winning

Players whose numbers match all four numbers drawn may win up to $5,000! Below you can see estimated prize payouts and odds according to the play type selected and amount played. If you played Front Pair, Mid Pair or Back Pair and match two numbers in exact order, you can win up to $50.

NOTE: Pick 4 offers set prize payouts and the Florida Lottery has established a $7 million liability limit for any specific 4-digit number in each drawing. If any 4-digit combination (e.g. 7777) is purchased frequently enough for a drawing that the liabilitylimit would be exceeded, the Lottery will stop further sales for that particular number combination. Additionally, no Front Pair, Mid Pair or Back Pair involving the first 2, middle 2 or last 2 digits, respectively, of the 4-digit number will be included in that drawing. Players who have already played the numbers are still eligible to win the full prize amount.
