Hello,
How do I open an account?!

Bryan, you may need to rethink the payout of any 4 in any order.
The prize is $750.
Now any 4 from 10 = 10x9x8x7/1x2x3x4 = 210 possible combinations.
Therefore a $210 full cover bet will scoop a winning ticket, every time, and a $420 bet just may take the Combo 1 payout if the draw is in an ascending order.

I love those odds, but lets be fair and base it all on chance :)

Best wishes and Happy New Year to you both

Paddy,

You have just 4 numbers and they can be in any order (4 order options only are payable) for those that have been drawn.

e.g.

Drawn number is 1234

If you have.

1234
2341
3412
4123

So, for ex. 1342 is not a winner?

"they can be in any order"

So yes, 1342 would be a winner.

So would that if the number 5678 is drawn

would the winners be?

5678

6785

7856

8567

if the answer is yes





can I have the 7856 ticket please











amusing myself best I can waiting for it all to come back bigger and better

Its your wording for the BOX option Bryan.
Match any 4 in any order, which, like any lotto, gives a winner no matter on the order the numbers are drawn if your numbers come up. That would make such a gamble more worthwhile, just reduce the payout so that a full cover is not possible.
Imagine someone drawing those 4 numbers, but unable to match up a winning line on the big draw, yet still losing out on the random order of the 4 winning numbers in their BOX selection. Random is what keeps all the lotteries alive :)

Best wishes

Paddy surely if there are ten choices it would be 10x9x8x7=5040 possible combinations to get them in the right order

one or more of us might need help understanding the math


but it will help pass the time till pips is restored in full
