Cash 4

Cash 4 is a player-favorite draw game with a top prize of $5,000. With several drawings daily and multiple play types, there are plenty of ways to win. A $1.00 play can win up to $5,000, and a $0.50 wager can win up to $2,500. Cash 4 is played in Arkansas, Georgia and Tennessee, with other states offering a very similar game called Pick 4, Daily 4 or Play 4. The information on this page may vary slightly by state.

How to Play

Pick a four-digit number from 0000 to 9999 or any combination, like 1234. Any or all of the numbers can be the same. Mark the numbers on a playslip. You can play up to five times per playslip; each area is marked "Play" with a letter A-E.

Alternatively, mark the Quick Pick box and your numbers will be randomly generated.

You can play your numbers for multiple consecutive draws; just mark the number of draws you wish to play and the draw times.

You can also choose to play a specific day of the week, rather than today - mark the day of the week you want to play.

Play Styles

There are a number of play styles to choose from for different ways to win. The lowest amount you can play on Cash 4 is $0.50, and there are different wager amounts for different play types.

For the Straight and Box play types, you have a choice of playing $0.50 or $1.00. The Straight / Box play style cost $1.00, and Combo plays cost between $2-$24 because they have more ways to win.

  • Straight (Exact Match): Match the winning numbers in the order drawn. Wager: $0.50 or $1.00. Top prize: $5,000.
  • Box (Any Order): Match the winning numbers in any order. Wager: $0.50 or $1.00. Top prize: $1,198.
  • Straight / Box (Exact Match OR Any Order): Wager: $1.00 (a $0.50 play for Straight plus a $0.50 play for Box). Top prize: $3,099.
  • Combo: Equal to all Straight combinations of a four-digit number. Wager: $2-$24. Top prize: $5,000.

Cash 4 Prizes and Odds of Winning

Here's what you could win depending on your play type and wager amount, along with winning combination examples and odds.

What does 4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way, and 24-Way mean in the table below? It's explained in the next section, "Winning Combination Examples". Basically, if you choose a number with three digits the same, like 1112, it has fewer winning combinations than a number with all unique digits, like 1234, and the odds and prize amounts reflect this.

Note: this is general information and details may differ by state.

Winning Combination Examples

The numbers and play types you choose determine the ways you can win.

A Straight play is won by matching the numbers drawn in the exact order they are drawn. However, with Box, Straight / Box, and Combo play styles, the number you choose determines whether you are playing 4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way, or 24-Way.

This sounds confusing, but all it really means is that if you choose a number with three of the same digits, like 1112, there are only four ways the digits can be combined to win (4-Way) - it's harder to win, so the prize is higher. At the other end of the spectrum, a number with four unique digits, like 1234, has 24 potential winning combinations (24-Way), so it's easier to win and the prize is lower.
