How to Play

Play it Your Way, Any Day!

PICK 4^™ is a twice-daily game that pays a top prize of $5,000. Play it Straight or Combo for bigger prizes. To increase your chances of winning, try a Box, Straight/Box, or Pairs play. You can play it your way any day – twice a day! With midday and evening drawings, you have two chances to play – and win!

To play, pick up a PICK 4 playslip at an authorized Florida Lottery retailer or use your Florida Lottery mobile app to create a playslip.

To Play at a Retailer

Each playslip contains five panels (A-E). In each panel played:

Select one number (from 0 through 9) from each column for a total of four digits, or mark the QP (Quick Pick) box and let the terminal randomly select some or all of your numbers. For a Front Pair play, select a number from the first two columns only; for a Mid Pair play, select a number from the middle two columns only; for a Back Pair play, select a number from the last two columns only.
Select the play type: Straight, Box, Straight/Box, Combo, Front Pair, Mid Pair or Back Pair.
Select the amount you want to play: $0.50 or $1 (all Straight/Box plays cost $1; Combo plays cost $2 to $24).
Add FIREBALL for more chances to win. Adding FIREBALL doubles the price of your base play ticket and applies to all panels.
Select the draw time. Select MID for the midday drawing (1:30 p.m., ET), EVE for the evening drawing (9:45 p.m., ET) draw, or BOTH for both the midday and evening drawings. If no draw time is marked, the terminal will automatically print a ticket for the next available draw. If BOTH is selected, two separate tickets will print – one for the midday drawing and one for the evening drawing.
To Advance Play the same numbers and play types up to 14 consecutive days for the selected draw time(s), simply mark the number in the "Days" section on your playslip.
Give your completed playslip and payment to the retailer. You will receive a ticket for each set of selected numbers and draw date(s). Please check your ticket(s) before you leave the store. You are responsible for the accuracy of your ticket(s).

If no draw time is marked, the mobile app will automatically choose the next available draw time. If BOTH is selected, two separate tickets will be selected – one for the midday drawing and one for the evening drawing.
Select the amount you want to play: $0.50 or $1 (all Straight/Box plays cost $1; Combo plays cost $2 to $24).
Choose four numbers (0 through 9 for each). You can also use the "Shake to Play", "Play My Favorites", or "Random Numbers" options to select your numbers.

Unlike the Lottery's other Draw games, which are pari-mutuel in design (that is, players are vying for a portion of what is in the prize pool), PICK 2, PICK 3, PICK 4, and PICK 5 offer set prize payouts. Therefore, the Lottery has established a $9 million liability limit for PICK 4 for any particular four-digit number in each drawing. Should any four digit combination (for example 7777) be purchased often enough in a single drawing that would result in the liability limit being exceeded, the Lottery will "cut off" further sales of that specific number combination. In addition, no Front Pair, Mid Pair or Back Pair that involves the first two, middle two or last two digits, respectively, of the four digit number will be allowed for that drawing. Players that have already played those numbers will still win the full amount of the set prize even if the liability limit has been met. For more details on this issue, please refer to the Pick 4 game rule, subsection (1)(i).
