3. Decide on the draw time: you can play morning, day, evening, or night drawings. You can also choose to play multidraw by selecting the desired number of drawings.
4. Finally, select your play amount and proceed to check out.

For additional cost, you can add the Fireball feature.


What is Fireball in Daily 4 game?

The Daily 4 Fireball is a number that is drawn from 0 to 9 after each Daily 4 main number draw. Opting for the Fireball feature allows you to swap any of the four drawn Daily 4 winning numbers with the Daily 4 Fireball number to generate potential Fireball prize-winning combinations. If your chosen numbers align with any of the Fireball prize-winning combinations, you stand to win a prize.
Note that incorporating Fireball into your play doubles the cost of each Daily 4 board played.


What are the Daily 4 play types?

There are four distinct play types available, each offering unique avenues to bolster your chances of winning or aiming for a larger prize:

  • Straight: This type of play involves matching the winning numbers in the exact sequence they are drawn.
  • Box: Opting for a box play allows you to match the winning numbers in any order.
  • Straight/Box: This play combines both straight and box plays simultaneously. It costs $1, divided equally between the two game types ($0.50 for straight and $0.50 for box). Winning occurs if the drawn numbers match in the exact order for both plays. If all winning numbers are matched but not in the correct order, the box play wins.
  • Combo: With this option, you cover all possible straight combinations within a selected set of numbers. You can choose from 4-way, 6-way, 12-way, or 24-way combinations. Keep in mind that playing combinations entails a higher cost, but the potential rewards are also more significant.

These diverse play types offer flexibility, allowing you to select the strategy that aligns best with your preferences.
