4D Lotto Rules

How to Play

• You must be at least 18 years old to play.
• Choose a 4‑digit number from 0000 to 9999. You can select your own digits or use Lucky Pick (LP).
• Minimum play amount is ₱10.00 per 4‑number combination. You may play more than ₱10.00 by marking a higher amount.
• You can play the same numbers for up to 6 consecutive draws by marking the number of draws in the DRAW panel.

Winning Condition

• To win, your 6‑digit number must match the drawn numbers in exact order for the prize tiers.
• Prizes are awarded for matching the full 6‑digit number, or the first/last 5, 4, 3, or 2 digits.

Perm (Rambol) Play

Instead of playing a single exact order, you can play Perm, which covers all possible arrangements (permutations) of your chosen digits. Available perm options:

Roll Play

• ROLL 1: The first digit is randomly generated (0–9), creating 10 combinations. You select the last 3 digits.
• ROLL 4: The last digit is randomly generated (0–9), creating 10 combinations. You select the first 3 digits.

Each roll play costs ₱100.00 (10 combinations × ₱10).

Winning Condition

• To win the First Prize, your 4‑digit number must match the drawn numbers in exact order.
• Consolation prizes are awarded for matching the last 3 digits or last 2 digits (exact order).

First Prize Pool

• The First Prize has a Minimum Guaranteed Amount of ₱10,000.00 per ₱10 play.
• Prizes are paid on a pari‑mutuel basis: the total prize pool is divided equally among all first prize winners.
