Daily 4 Odds and Prizes
The Daily 4 game has more than one play type, and each of them has its own odds of winning. In California, prizes are calculated on a pari-mutuel basis and they differ in each draw, depending on ticket sales and the number of winners.
The biggest prizes are on offer if you play a Straight and match the winning numbers in exact order. While the values vary a lot from draw to draw, you might win around $5,000 for a Straight or $500 for a Box.
