Daily 4 has four chances to win daily, Monday through Saturday. It costs as little as $0.50 to play, and players can score a top prize of up to $5,000 in every draw on a $1 wager. Daily 4 has a strategy component with a choice of fun play styles that determine how you can make a winning combination. The Fireball option adds more ways to win with an extra number you can use to replace one of the numbers drawn.
To view the latest results for a draw, hit the Daily 4 Morning, Day, Evening, or Night link under Winning Numbers on the top menu.
How to Play
To start playing, simply pick four numbers (or two numbers if playing Pairs) from 0 to 9. Alternatively, select Quick Pick and your numbers will be randomly generated by the terminal.
Now it's time to choose a play style, which determines how your numbers can match the numbers drawn to make a winning set. All play styles have a $0.50 minimum bet unless otherwise noted; however, higher prizes are available if you wager $1:
- Straight (Exact Order): Win if your numbers match the numbers drawn in exact order.
- Box (Any Order): Win if your numbers match the numbers drawn in any order.
- Straight/Box (Exact/Any Order): Win if your numbers match the numbers drawn in either Exact Order or Any Order. The ticket price is slightly higher because it combines a Straight and Box wager (minimum $1, which is a $0.50 base play each on Straight and Box).
- Combo: All the possible Straight number combinations in one play. The ticket price is higher to reflect the number of combos being played, ranging from $2-12 on a $0.50 base play and $4-24 on a $1 base play, depending on your numbers.
- 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 middle two numbers drawn in exact order.
- Back Pair: Choose two numbers and win if they match the last two numbers drawn in exact order.
There are four draws held daily, six days a week - Monday through Saturday:
- Morning: 10:00 AM CT
- Day: 12:27 PM CT
- Evening: 6:00 PM CT
- Night: 10:12 PM CT
If you'd like to play your lucky numbers more than once, simply mark a "Multi-Draw" box to enter up to 24 drawings in a row with the same numbers.
You can also pick a specific draw time - mark Morning, Day, Evening, or Night and your chosen number of draws.
Choose whether to add the Fireball option to your play for more chances to win (see below).
To enter the next draw, complete your purchase before the draw break, when ticket sales are temporarily paused:
- Morning: 9:50 to 10:03 AM CT
- Day: 12:17 to 12:30 PM CT
- Evening: 5:50 to 6:03 PM CT
- Night: 10:02 to 10:15 PM CT
Fireball
Try adding Fireball to your Daily 4 ticket for extra ways to take home a prize. Fireball is an option that doubles the cost of a Daily 4 play. The Lottery draws a separate Fireball number from 0 to 9 after each Daily 4 draw.
You can use the Fireball number to replace any of the Daily 4 numbers drawn to make a winning combination.
Fireball is not available to play on its own, only as an add-on to your main game play. To add Fireball, simply mark "Yes" in the box on your playslip.
Prizes and Odds of Winning
In the table below, you'll find details of play types, payouts for a $0.50 and $1 wager, with a top prize of $5,000 for a $1 Straight win, and the chances of taking home a prize.
Each play type gives you different opportunities to win. 4-Way = four ways to win; 6-Way = six ways to win; 12-Way = 12 ways to win, and 24-Way = 24 ways to win!

Fireball Prizes and Odds of Winning
If you added the Fireball option to your Daily 4 play, check out the table below to see the prizes available and the chances of winning. Remember, you can use the Fireball digit instead of one of the Daily 4 numbers drawn, giving you more ways to win. Fireball doubles the cost of your base play, as reflected in the ticket prices shown - for example, a $0.50 base play on Daily 4 becomes a $1 play when Fireball is added.
The three Fireball Examples columns on the right - Your Numbers, Daily 4 Numbers Drawn, and Fireball Number Drawn - are for example purposes only, to illustrate how Fireball can help you make a winning match.
