Picking your play type is crucial as it decides how you win prizes. You can choose between Straight, Box, Straight/Box and Combination. There are restrictions on which numbers you can choose depending on your play type. You can find more information about the play types, and what numbers you can choose for each, in the section below.
You can choose your own four numbers from 0 to 9 and mark one digit per column on your playslip, or select Quick Pick (QP) to receive a random selection. Choosing the same number multiple times is allowed, and even affects your odds and potential prizes!
Choose whether you want to wager $0.50 or $1.00 on your play. If you don't mark an amount, the play will default to $1.00
Mark DAY to play the next Midday draw, EVE to play the next Evening draw, or BOTH to enter your numbers in the next two draws. If you don't mark a time, the play will be for the nearest upcoming draw. You can also decide which day of the week to begin their play. If no day is marked, the play will be for the next draw.
Straight - Win by matching the numbers drawn in exact order. Wager either $0.50 or $1.
Box - Win by matching the numbers drawn in any order. A Box can be 4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way, or 24-Way depending on how many potential winning combinations your selected numbers have. Wager either $0.50 or $1.
Straight/Box - A $0.50 Straight play and $0.50 Box play on one ticket. This play type always costs $1.

This is how many combinations can be made out of your four selected digits. A 4-Way play has three identical digits and just one that is different, so they can only be arranged four ways (for example 1112, 1121, 1211 and 2111). A 6-Way play has two pairs of the same number (e.g. 3344), a 12-Way play has two identical numbers and two that are unique (e.g. 5567), while a 24-Way has four different numbers (such as 1234).
Draws are conducted at the Arkansas Lottery offices in Little Rock, using a computerized random number generator.
