A variety of bet types are available for NH Pick 4 including Straight, Box, Front Pair, Back Pair, or Single Digit. Our Bet Types section on this page explains how each bet works – peruse them and decide which you like the best.
Choose a four-digit number from 0000 to 9999 for Straight and Box wagers, two digits for a Pair bet, or one digit for a Single Digit wager. For random numbers, use either Easy Pick or our Pick 4 number generator.
You can enter your chosen four-digit number for as many as three weeks (21 days, or 42 drawings) in a row. Choose whether you want to enter the Day draws, Evening draws, or both.
In Pick 4 you can wager as little as $0.50 or as much as $5. It’s up to you to decide how to play, but higher wagers typically lead to higher prizes. The minimum wager for Pick 4 is $0.50 and goes up in $0.50 increments up to $5, with the top potential prize being $25,000 on a Straight bet.
Pick 4 is similar to the three-number equivalent of the game, with draws also taking place at 1:10 PM EST and 6:59 PM EST each day.
Straight Match the numbers exactly as they’re drawn, for example 1234.
Box Match the numbers in any order, for example 1234, 4213, 1432, 3421 or any other order.
Straight/Box A combination play allows you to match winning numbers in either the exact order or any order. For example, you win both parts of the wager if you match all the numbers exactly (1234), but just the Box prize if you match them in another order (4321).
Front Pair Match the first two numbers, for example 12XX.
Middle Pair Match the middle numbers, for example X23X.
Back Pair Match the back two numbers, for example XX34.
Any/Single Digit Match a single digit in the correct position. Choose whether to wager on the first digit (1XXX), second digit (X2XX), third digit (XX3X), or fourth digit (XXX4).
This refers to your combination of numbers. A 4-Way has three identical numbers out of four (such as 1112), a 6-Way has two sets of pairs (3344), while a 12-Way has two identical numbers and two unique numbers (5567). A 24-Way play has four different numbers (8901).
You have to be at least 18 to play Pick 4, or any other New Hampshire Lottery game.
The claim deadline is one year from the draw date.
