Pick 4 changed its number pool then, which started a new era. Only the 1,076 draws since count towards number statistics — mixing draws from before a rule change would make any frequency meaningless.

That draw, on a play slip

  1. 7
  2. 2
  3. 8
  4. 6

All different — every digit different — 24 orderings.

A straight on 7286 was one line in 10,000. A box on the same digits covered 24 of them — one in 417 — and pays about a 24th as much. Neither is a better bet than the other: they are the same money bought in different sized pieces.

Straight, or box

Pick 4 draws 4 digits in order, each from 10 — so there are exactly 10,000 lines, and every one of them is as likely as every other. What changes with a box is how many of those lines your ticket covers.

BetLines coveredChanceLines of this shapeShare of all draws
Straight — the exact order11 in 10,000——

Box — Three the same41 in 2,5003603.6%
Box — Four the same11 in 10,000100.1%

The last two columns are why a box on three different digits feels common: 50% of all draws have that shape. It is also why the prize is smaller.

Every digit, in every position

3,243 draws, so chance expects each digit about 324 times in each position. A position is its own machine: the first digit knows nothing about the second.
