Want more chances? Add the “Fireball” option. With Fireball you pay double the cost of your base play, and then after the main draw a Fireball number (0-9) is drawn. That Fireball number can replace any one of the four drawn numbers to form extra winning combinations.
This means that if your numbers almost hit, but one is off, the Fireball can give you an additional chance.
Note: Fireball prizes tend to be smaller than the top base-game prize, but you’re playing more chances.
Check the table below for all the Fireball payouts and odds of winning by play type and bet. All Fireball prizes are separate and in addition to any Pick 4 prizes you may win. Use the Fireball number drawn to replace one of the Pick 4 numbers to generate a winning set.
