How To Win The Pick 4 Lottery Tips

Every Pick 4 Player in the U.S., Canada (Ontario & Quebec Provinces ), Puerto Rico, and throughout the Caribbean is always looking for tips on how to win the Pick 4 Lottery.

The Pick 4 Lottery with its $5,000 jackpot or "Straight" Win for one $1 ticket has odds of 10,000 to 1. The lotto player who enjoys this game chooses one of the 4-digit numbers ranging from 0000 to 9999 to wager one dollar to win $5,000.  The 4 digits played need to match the official drawn number in the exact order to collect the grand prize. If you play a Straight ticket with the number 1234, in order to have the winning ticket the winning drawn Pick 4 number must be 1234.

There is also a possibility of winning from $200 to $1200 for one $1 investment.  This wager is played as a Pick 4 "Box" ticket.  Unlike the Straight ticket play, the Box ticket play wins when the 4-digits are matched in any order.  If you play 1234, then if these four digits are drawn in any order, you WIN. If the Pick 4 number was drawn in any of these forms you are a winner…..4321, 3124, 2431, and actually there are a total of 24 possible permutations or combinations that could make you a winner.

In this example, you receive $200.  This type of Pick 4 number is known as non-repeating or "single", because all four digits are different.   This group of Pick 4 numbers makes up 50.4% of the 10,000 Pick 4 number combinations. 

The next group of Pick 4 number combinations is known as "doubles".  This type of Pick 4 number is named such because one of the four digits repeats itself to create a double.  1123 is an example of a Pick 4 double number.  A winning Pick 4 double boxed number returns $400 for one $1 investment.  Again, the four digits can be drawn in any order to be a winner. This group of Pick 4 numbers makes up 42.3% of all Pick 4 winning combinations.

There are three other types of Pick 4 number groups that one can play.  Continuing, the next group is known as "double-doubles" because the 4 digits are comprised of two doubles such as 1122.  This type of Pick 4 number represent 2.7% of all Pick 4 combination, and pays $800 for one $1 investment for a matching box number in any order.

The fourth type of Pick 4 number is called "triples" since one of the four digits appears three times within the winning Pick 4 number.  An example of a triple Pick 4 number is 3111, with a return of $1200 for one $1 winning Box ticket.  This group makes up 3.6% of all Pick 4 numbers.

The last group is known as "Quads" or "Quadruples" because all four digits are the same: 0000, 1111, 2222, 3333, 4444, 5555, 6666, 7777, 8888, and 9999.  This type of Pick 4 number can only be played as a Straight ticket, and guarantees when drawn the jackpot amount of $5,000 for one $1 investment. These ten Pick 4 numbers represent 0.1% of all 10,000 Pick 4 combinations. This sums up all possible winning Pick 4 numbers.

In order to know how to win the lottery, including Pick 4, familiarize yourself with the rules that make up this lottery game before starting to play any numbers.

There are many so-called Pick 4 experts that give Pick 4 advice on how to win the Pick 4 lottery in articles and videos you can locate on the internet. Some of the so-called experts claim their "expertise" based on their relationship to the Pick 4 Lotto. 

Some say they are an expert because they are lottery retailers who have sold Pick 4 lottery tickets in their store for years.  Some say they have played the Pick 4 lotto for years as a "professional gambler" or a Pick 4 player.  Others claim to be an expert because they have spent many years studying and researching the Pick 4 Lottery game.

Some of these so-called lottery experts have produced Pick 4 Systems they offer for sale on the internet.  No matter how much hype each one promotes him or herself and his/her system the real truth on their expertise comes from the good or bad advice that is offered.

Comparing some of the Pick 4 Lottery tips offered from internet videos or articles viewed include, "If you want to win the Pick 4, just play the single Pick 4 numbers."    The reason for this Pick 4 Lottery tip comes from the fact that Pick 4 singles make up over 50% of potential winning Pick 4 numbers.  The remaining four groups of Pick 4 number make up 49% of all the numbers together. 

A contrasting Pick 4 video expert claims that in order to be a Pick 4 winner the player should play both the Pick 4 singles and doubles because they make up over 90% of the potential winning numbers.  He claims that "by eliminating the Pick 4 doubles from one's play, the player becomes ‘an automatic loser' each time a Pick 4 double is drawn – even before the drawing takes place".

Pick 4 players can check these pieces of advice by going to their State's past performances and count how many of each group of Pick 4 numbers were actually drawn in a given month to see who gave the best advice to become a Winning Pick 4 Player.

If you want to know how to win the Pick 4 lottery, you need to check out the advice you are receiving.  All how to win the Pick 4 Lottery tips are obviously not the same.  Some may be good advice and some may be bad advice.  The Pick 4 lottery tips can also indicate who the real experts are based on the advice they offer, but as Pick 4 players it is up to you to do your own follow-up.

Too many Pick 4 players know the results of "bad advice" or highly promoted Pick 4 Systems that just didn't work in the past.  One way of avoiding this from happening again is to compare pieces of advice that are offered as an indication of the expert's knowledge of the Pick 4 lottery that you see in videos or read in articles.  Make sure you check out the advice to cover the age-old advice "buyers beware".
