Indiana Daily 4 FAQs

Daily 4 is the Hoosier Lottery's four-digit game. You just have to select four digits between 0 and 9, but there are variety of play types and optional features. Daily 4 works the same way as Pick 4 games in other states.

There are two drawings every day. The Midday draw is held at 1:20 PM ET, while Evening draws take place at 11:00 PM ET.

Tickets are available for the Midday drawing until 1:10 PM ET. For the Evening draw, sales cut off at 10:39 PM.

You can choose between the following play styles – Straight, Box, 1-Off, Combo, Wheel and Front 3/Back 3. This is when you decide whether you want to try to match the numbers exactly (Straight), in any order (Box) or go for something else. See the Ways to Play page to find out about more about each play type.

You can win up to 5,000 times your wager amount if you play a Straight. The payout you can win always depends on a number of factors, including your play type and wager amount. It may also depend on whether you have played a 4-Way, 6-Way, 12-Way or 24-Way number combination. See the Odds & Prizes page for all the possible payouts in Daily 4.

The difference is how your numbers are configured. A 24-Way play has four different numbers, such as 1234, which can be ordered in 24 different ways. A 4-Way has three digits that are the same and one that is different, such as 1112. A 6-Way has two sets of pairs (e.g. 3344), and a 12-Way has one pair and two unique numbers (e.g. 5567).

You can wager as little as $0.50 per play, or increments of $1. The maximum amount is $10.

The odds of winning also depend on your play type and number combination. The chances of winning with a Straight and matching four numbers in exact order are 1 in 10,000. You can also improve your odds by adding the Superball option.

The Superball is a fifth ball from 0 to 9 that is also selected as part of the draw. This can replace any of the other numbers to create new winning combinations. For example, if you pick 2468 as a Straight and the numbers drawn are 2460, this would be a losing ticket on the base game. However, if the Superball was an 8, it could be switched with the 0 to give you a win. Adding the Superball doubles the cost of a play.

Yes, you can play your numbers in up to 28 consecutive drawings.
