The drawing take place daily immediately after ticket sales close at 6:30 PM PT.
After each draw, check the Daily 4 winning numbers page to see if you're a winner!
Daily 4 Playstyles
Daily 4 has three playstyles: Straight, Box, or Straight/Box.
- Straight: Your numbers need to match the winning numbers drawn in exactly the same order.
- Box: Your numbers can match the winning numbers in ANY order.
- Straight/Box: A combination of both playstyles. Your $1 play is split evenly between Straight and Box. If you match the winning numbers in the exact order drawn, you win about half the Straight prize and about half the Box prize. Match the numbers drawn in any other order, and you win about half the Box prize.
To win a Daily 4 prize, all the numbers you've picked must match all the numbers drawn. Each number is independent of the other three numbers. So, if the winning numbers are 1-1-2-3, you must have a one, another one, a two and a three in your chosen numbers to win.
Daily 4 Odds of Winning
In the table below are examples of the three playstyles, how you can win, and odds of winning.
Is it better to play the most-common or least-common numbers? The pari-mutuel prize system used in California means the amount you can win is set by what numbers are played and the total number of players. Most players opt for the same popular numbers - for example, 9999. What does that mean? If 9999 is drawn, the prize would be divided between everyone who played 9999. However, if a player chose numbers that were less often played and those numbers won, the player would share the prize amount with fewer winners. So, try your luck with less commonly-played numbers - you just might win a bigger prize!
Who gets the money from Daily 4? For every $1 spent by players on Daily 4, $0.95 goes back to the community - distributed to CA public schools and colleges, player prizes and retailer compensation.
How long do I have to claim a prize? You have 180 days from the draw date to claim your winnings.
What happens if a prize is not claimed in time? If a jackpot is not claimed within 180 days of the draw date, the unclaimed prize funds are given to California public education.
