How to Play

Select four numbers from 0 through 9, or to start playing even faster, mark the QP (Quick Pick) box on your playslip and the lottery computer will generate a random selection for you.

A base play costs $0.50, $1, or $5, and the amount you wager determines the prizes you could win.

There are seven play styles to choose from, with varying ways your four digits can make a winning match with the numbers drawn. Here’s a rundown of how you can win:

  • Straight (Exact Order) – Your numbers match the winning numbers in the exact order they are drawn.
  • Box (Any Order) – Your numbers match the winning numbers in any order.
  • Straight/Box (Exact/Any Order) – A Straight and a Box on the same ticket; you can win a prize for matching the winning numbers in Exact Order or Any Order. Because you are technically buying an entry for two possible outcomes, a $0.50 base play costs $1.
  • Combo – The easiest way to play all the Straight combinations on one ticket. A $0.50 base play costs $1.50 to $6; a $1 base play costs $3 to $12 depending on the numbers you choose.
  • Front Pair – Choose two numbers and win if they match the first two numbers drawn in exact order.
  • Mid Pair – Choose two numbers and win if they match the second and third numbers drawn in exact order.
  • Back Pair – Choose two numbers and win if they match the third and fourth numbers drawn in exact order.

Use Multi-Draw if you love your numbers and want to play them for up to 24 consecutive drawings; just mark the number of draws on your playslip.

If you prefer to only play a specific draw time, simply mark Morning, Day, Evening or Night on your ticket and decide how many draws to enter.

Fireball

The Fireball option gives you even more ways to win. The TX Lottery draws one Fireball number from 0 to 9 after each Daily 4 draw. Use the Fireball number to replace any of the Daily 4 numbers drawn for the chance to make a winning set. Fireball doubles the cost of your Daily 4 play. Visit the Fireball page for more information.

Prizes and Odds

The following table has a breakdown of the Daily 4 prize levels and chances of winning depending on your play style, bet, and chosen numbers. Scroll down to check Fireball prizes and odds.

Straight Plays

Unlike other play types, the payouts for Straight plays stay the same in the base game regardless of which numbers you pick, as there is an equal chance of any single four-digit combination being drawn as the winner. This differs when it comes to the Fireball prizes, as the odds change depending on whether there are any repeating numbers in your chosen combination.

Box Plays

The odds of winning and the payouts for Box plays vary depending on the particular combination of numbers you pick. For example, a 24-way Box (a combination of four different numbers) is more likely to win than a 4-way Box (three numbers the same plus one other), so the payouts are scaled accordingly.

Straight/Box Plays

When you play a Straight/Box, you combine two different play types so you can win more than one prize with the same combination of numbers. If you match the winning numbers in the exact order you will get paid for hitting the Straight and the Box; match the winning numbers in any order and you will still win the Box part of the play.

Combo Plays

In a Combo, you play all the possible Straight combinations from the four numbers you select. As all 4-digit combinations have an equal chance of being drawn, the payouts are the same as if you played a standard Straight bet. However, the odds of winning are much improved because you cover multiple combinations.

Pair Plays

Each Pair play – Front Pair, Middle Pair, and Back Pair – has the same odds of winning and the same payouts. Fireball payouts differ slightly depending on whether the two numbers in the pair are the same or not.
