Texas Daily 4

Daily 4 is an exciting game where you can play your lucky numbers and be strategic by picking your play style! There are lots of ways to play and win four times a day, Monday through Saturday. The minimum play is $0.50 and there are five play types to choose from.

Daily 4 is the first game with the Pair Play! option. You can play the first two, middle two or last two numbers. For example: 12XX, X12X, XX12.

  3. Evening: 6:00 PM CT

  4. Night: 10:12 PM CT

How to Play Daily 4

Playing is easy. Choose four single-digit numbers (or two single-digit numbers for Pair Play) from 0-9 (or use Quick Pick and your numbers will be automatically chosen at random).

Next, mark how you want to play your four single-digit numbers for Straight (Exact Order), Box (Any Order), Straight/Box (Exact/Any Order) and Combo or two single-digit numbers for Front Pair, Mid Pair or Back Pair.

Fireball

Fireball is an option you can add to your Daily 4 ticket for more chances to win. After each Daily 4 draw, a separate draw is held where the Lottery randomly selects one Fireball number from 0 to 9.

By adding Fireball, you can replace any of the Daily 4 numbers drawn with the Fireball number - giving you extra ways to create a winning set.

Fireball is not available to play by itself; it must be added to your Daily 4 ticket. To add Fireball, mark "Yes" in the box on your playslip. Fireball doubles the cost of all Daily 4 plays.

Fireball Prizes and Odds

If you opted for the Fireball add-on to your base game ticket, the table below shows the prizes you could take home if you make a winning match using the Fireball number to replace one of the Daily 4 numbers drawn. Fireball doubles the cost of your play, as shown by the ticket prices below - for example, a $0.50 base play increases to $1 with Fireball.

The three Fireball Examples columns on the right (Your Numbers, Daily 4 Numbers Drawn, and Fireball Number Drawn) are simply examples to show how Fireball can potentially help to create a winning set.
