Pick 4 tickets cost $1.
Choose your favorite four-digit number or a random one, or alternatively let the Lottery's computer choose them for you. Your choice partly depends on what you hope to win. For example, 8866 can't win you a 4-Way or 24-Way Box Play but could win a 6-Way play or Straight play, depending on which you opt for. But remember, the higher the odds, the higher the prize.
The two game play options are ‘Straight play’ or ‘Box play.’
Straight: To win a prize, your digits must match all figures drawn in precise order.
Box: To win a reward, your digits must match Pick 4 winning numbers drawn in any order.

There's no doubt that playing the lottery can be a lot of fun. But it's important to remember to play responsibly. That means making sure you only spend what you can afford to lose and not borrowing money to buy tickets.
It's also important to remember that the odds of winning are always against you. So don't count on the lottery to make you rich. Instead, enjoy it for what it is - a bit of fun with the chance to win a prize.
