Pick 4
This exciting Pennsylvania game pays out a grand prize of $5,000, and with draws twice a day there are lots of opportunities to pocket cash wins. Add the Wild Ball option to your play for even more chances to match the winning numbers.

How to Play
Play up to five times on a playslip. Each panel is one $0.50 or $1.00 play. Pick your favorite four-digit number from 0 to 9, or let Quick Pick randomly computer-generate it.
Choose one of a selection of play types. Straight: Win by matching the lottery’s numbers in the exact order drawn. Box: Win by matching the lottery’s numbers in any order. Straight/Box: Win by matching the numbers drawn in exact OR any order. Prizes and odds depend on the play type you select – see below for more information.
Enter the Day draw at 1:35 pm ET, Evening draw at 6:59 pm ET, or both.
Choose how much you want to wager per game – $0.50 or $1.00. Select the time and date you’ll play, or enter up to seven drawings in advance with the same numbers and play type.
Wild Ball
For extra chances at winning combinations, add on the Wild Ball option. A one-digit Wild Ball number is selected before each draw. The number can replace one of the lottery’s numbers for that draw, generating more ways to win. Wild Ball doubles the cost of your play type and the payouts are also different.
