Pick 4 Number Generator

Pick 4 is a daily game where four digits from 0 to 9 are drawn one after another, giving 10,000 possible results from 0000 to 9999. The Texas and California versions are called Daily 4, Florida and Pennsylvania use Pick 4, and Georgia's is Cash 4. In Florida, Texas, Pennsylvania and Georgia a $1 straight that matches all four digits in order pays a fixed $5,000. California shares a prize pool among its winners instead.

With a fourth digit, the box bet becomes the interesting part of the game. A 4-digit number can be arranged in 1, 4, 6, 12 or 24 different orders depending on how many of its digits repeat. The states pay the box bet according to that count, so the pattern of your number matters more here than in a 3-digit game.

The counts add up to 10,000. Just over half of all Pick 4 numbers (5,040) have four different digits, and almost all the rest (4,320) contain exactly one pair, so most random lines land in the 24-way or 12-way group. A straight wins on 1 outcome in 10,000 whatever the pattern. A box wins on as many outcomes as the number has orders, which is why a 24-way box is six times as likely to win as a 4-way box but pays a sixth as much. The same counts give the official odds in every state below, and you can reproduce them with the odds calculator.

California Daily 4 is the only one of these games with a single daily draw, against two to four elsewhere. Florida closes Pick 4 sales 10 minutes before each draw, one minute later than its Pick 3. Texas runs four draws a day but none on Sunday, and allows Multi-Draw for up to 24 consecutive drawings. Pennsylvania's Advance Play covers up to seven draws, and California's covers 1-7 or 14.

On a 4-way box, Florida pays $599 for 50¢ and $1,198 for $1, while the other three pay $600 and $1,200. That makes a Florida 4-way straight/box worth $3,099 on an exact hit, against $3,100 in Texas and Georgia. The straight/box exact-hit totals for the 6-, 12- and 24-way patterns are $2,900, $2,700 and $2,600 in Texas, Florida and Georgia. Pennsylvania sells straight/box only as a 50¢ play, and its Pick 4 prize table lists no pair bets. Combo tickets cover every order of your number as a separate straight. A $1-per-order combo costs $4, $6, $12 or $24 depending on the pattern, and a winning one pays $5,000.

Texas defines three pair bets on Daily 4, each matched in exact order. Front Pair is the first two digits drawn, Mid Pair the second and third, and Back Pair the last two. Florida offers the same three, and on its play slip you mark only the matching two columns. Two digits can only be drawn in 100 ways, so each pair bet has odds of 1 in 100 and pays $25 for 50¢ or $50 for $1. With Fireball, the Florida pair prize is $15 per $1 at 1 in 25. In Texas, a single Fireball pair win pays $14 on a $2 Fireball play, at 1 in 56.

Georgia's 1-Off pays a smaller prize when your number is right in order but one or more digits are off by one. With 1234, for example, a draw of 1334 is one digit off. The Georgia Lottery describes it as "one number off, two numbers off, three numbers off, or one number higher or lower in exact order". An exact match on a 1-Off ticket pays half the normal straight prize.

If each digit has two neighbours, these odds are exact. One digit off can happen in 4 × 2 = 8 ways, two digits off in 6 × 4 = 24 ways, three digits off in 4 × 8 = 32 ways and all four off in 16 ways, out of 10,000. Four digits off pays more than three because it is the rarer result.

Fireball (Texas and Florida) and Wild Ball (Pennsylvania) add one more digit that can replace any of the four drawn, which in Pick 4 can create up to four new winning numbers. Each doubles the cost of the play. A $1 Florida straight with Fireball earns $1,500 at 1 in 2,500 from a Fireball match. Pennsylvania's Wild Ball pays $1,500 on a straight, then $390, $260, $130 and $60 on the 4-, 6-, 12- and 24-way boxes, per $1 play. Texas pays $675 per Fireball win on a 50¢-base straight.

California Daily 4 has no add-on and no fixed prizes. Its regulations put about 48.5% of each draw's sales into the prize pool, a little less than Daily 3's 50%, and split it across thirteen prize categories. Each $1 box prize is set at twice the matching straight/box box prize.

A $5,000 straight is above the retailer limit in Florida, California and Pennsylvania. California pays up to $599 at retailers and anything above at a District Office or by mail. Florida also pays up to $599 at retailers, and larger prizes up to $1 million at a District Office. Pennsylvania retailers may pay up to $2,500 per ticket. The deadline is 180 days after the draw in Texas, Florida, California and Georgia. Pennsylvania allows one year for every PICK ticket, with or without Wild Ball. Federal tax is withheld at 24% on prizes over $5,000 with a valid Social Security number, according to the Florida Lottery, so a $5,000 straight falls just below that threshold.

Before copying a generated line, look at its pattern. 4-8-8-1 is a 12-way box and 3-3-3-3 can only be played straight. In Texas you can tick Morning, Day, Evening or Night to keep the same number on one draw time. In Georgia you choose Midday, Evening or Night.

Florida, Pennsylvania and Georgia require players to be at least 18. Several draws a day and $24 combo tickets can make a budget disappear quickly, so if that happens, call 1-800-GAMBLER or your state's helpline. No pattern makes a number more likely to be drawn (why). More: play responsibly.
