Play Louisiana Pick 4 in new and unique ways when you pick different play types. Each has different ways of winning and different prize payouts if you do! There are four you can pick: Straight, Box, Straight/Box and Combo. Which way will you play?

Straight
Straight

The order of the numbers coming up matters in this play type. You have to match four numbers in the exact order to win. It's a challenge - but it will also gain you the top prize of $5,000 if you do so!

Box
Box

Here you only have to match four numbers - the order which they come up in doesn't matter. There are few different ways you can achieve this. Our 'Ways to Match Numbers' section underneath explains the different methods to win a 'Box' play type.

Straight/Box
Straight/Box

Mix and Match two playtypes when you pick Straight/Box. This will cost a minimum of $1 which will then be split into two $0.50 wagers on both Straight and Box. This means if you win Straight, you will also win Box at the same time.

Straight/Box
Combination

This covers all possible combinations of your chosen numbers. It will place a separate straight bet on every combination that could be drawn - massively boosting your odds of winning the top prize!

Ways to Match Numbers

You can play the 'Box' play type in different ways. For example, you could match four different numbers or two pairs of numbers. There are four total ways to do this: 4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way and 24-Way - named after the number of winning combinations that could come up.
