The Ticket

 

The ticket, which can be bought at a lotto retailer, has five different play areas labeled Play A through Play E. Each of the play areas corresponds to a separate play. If you only want to bet on one number combination, you should only fill out the Play A section. However, if you want to bet on more than one combination, then you can fill out the remaining play areas accordingly.

 

The play areas have four columns and each column contains the numbers 0 to 9. Mark one number on each column. Take note that all the numbers of your combination should be marked on the same play area. For example, if your number combination is 5678, number 5 should be marked in the first column, number 6 in the second column, number 7 in the third column, and number 8 in the last column.

 

If you would like to bet on random numbers, mark the “QUICK PICK” box so that the computer will choose the random numbers for you.

 

Draws To Play

 

After you fill out the Cash4 ticket with your lucky number combination, indicate whether you want to play during the day or at night. For the day schedule, mark “MID”. For the night schedule, mark “EVE”. If you wish to play on both schedules, mark “BOTH”. Choosing “BOTH” will double the price for the play that you pick.

 

Days To Play

 

You can play the same number combination for up to seven days if you so desire. Mark the ADVANCE PLAY and mark one number out of the numbers 2 through 7 on the ticket. These numbers represent the number of days that you want to play the same combination.

 

Ways To Play

 

Cash4 can be played in two basic ways and two “shortcut” ways. The first basic way, called Straight play, can be won by matching the winning lottery numbers in the exact order that they were drawn. So if the drawn numbers are 3456, then you would win if you picked the same numbers, in the same order, but you would lose if you picked 4563, 6534, 5436 and so on.

 

The second basic way, called Box play, is won by matching the winning numbers in any order. There are four different ways to play Box, namely 24-way, 12-way, 6-way, and 4-way. In the 24-way box, none of the numbers are repeated (e.g. 1234). In the 12-way box, one number is repeated and the two remaining numbers are different (e.g. 8824). In the 6-way box, two different numbers are repeated (e.g. 6677). And in the 4-way box, one number is tripled (1119). You should remember that you cannot play Box if you choose a number combination with four identical numbers.

The first of the two “shortcut” ways to play the game is Straight/Box, which is a combination of both Straight play and Box play in one single game play. If the winning numbers are 6789 and your chosen combination is 6798, you lose in the Straight play but you hit the Box play jackpot. This option costs $1.00.

The second shortcut way of playing Cash4 is the Combo. By playing combo, you place a bet on all possible combinations of your chosen numbers. For an instance, if you play Combo and your number combination is 4448, you also place bets on 4484, 4844, and 8444. This is called the four-way combo and costs $4 dollars because there are four possible combinations. You can also play the 6-way combo which costs $6, the 12-way combo which costs $12, and the 24-way combo which costs $24.
