Straight - Match all four digits in the exact order they’re drawn. If you choose 1234, you win only when the drawing is 1234.
Box - Win when the same four digits appear in any order. A 1234 Box play wins if the result is 4321, 2134, or any other arrangement of those digits.
Pairs - Win by matching two digits in the correct order – for Front Pair, you must match the first two digits drawn. For Back Pair, match the last two digits drawn. For Middle Pair, match the second and third digits in the correct positions. If the winning number is 1234, the Front Pair is 12, the Middle Pair is 23 and the Back Pair is 34.
Single Digit - Win by correctly choosing one number and its exact position in the draw — 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th. Playing 5 in the 2nd position wins if the second digit drawn is 5.
