What is Oregon Pick 4?
Pick 4 is a draw game offered by the Oregon Lottery, where players aim to match four numbers between 0 and 9, based on the play style they selected when completing their playslip. It's a fast-paced game, with four draws every day, and players can win up to $5,000 with a $1 ticket. Many other states offer Pick 4, but each state has its own rules and drawings, so make sure you're on the right website!
When are the Pick 4 drawings held?
Four drawings are held every day, at 1:00 PM, 4:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 11:00 PM (PT). BY default, tickets are only valid for one drawing.
How do you win Pick 4?
With a Pick 4 playslip, the player gets to decide how they win. There are lots of different ways to play, to many for this little FAQ box, so head over to our
Ways to Play page to read all about them.
What are the different 'Matches' / Play Types?
A Match is the term used by the Oregon Lottery referring to the different play types available. On our website, we just call them Play Types because it's easier to understand. There are Exact Order plays, where you need to match the numbers in drawn-order to win, and Any Order plays, where the order isn't important. With these play types, you can choose to match all four numbers, or just three. You can also play an Easy 4 Combo ticket, where any consecutive numbers you match in exact order win you a prize, from two to all four. Read the rest of the details on our
Ways to Play page.
How much do Pick 4 tickets cost?
Each pick 4 ticket can cost either $0.50 or $1, and it's up to the player how much they want to pay.
