Good to know
- Pick 4 can be played straight, boxed or back-up; wheel and pair bets are offered on Pick 3 only.
- Back-Up bets combine a Straight bet and a Boxed bet on one ticket and must be placed in $1 increments.
- You must validate and cash a winning ticket within 180 days of the drawing date.
- If total prize liabilities for a number exceed a limit set by the commission, no further wagers on that number are accepted for that drawing.
- On a Back-Up bet, if your numbers match only in another order, you win the boxed amount.
- These figures were read from the Internet Archive's copy of the lottery's own pages (the copy used for the prizes is dated October 11, 2026), because the lottery's site can't be reached from where we work.
