You can play Pick 4 in just a few quick steps, but it is a game that gives you a lot more control than most other lotteries. Follow the instructions below to help you fill in a playslip, then just make sure to purchase your tickets in time for the next draw. Play Pick 4 at any of the Granite State's 1,400 retailers.
There are a few bet options in Pick 4, so decide whether you want to try to match the numbers exactly or in any order. You can even try to match just one or two digits. See the Ways to Play page for more details about all the bet types.
Choose four numbers - one from each column - or get an Easy Pick if you would prefer to play a random selection. If playing a Pair or Single Digit wager, you don't even have to select four numbers.
Pick 4 lets you decide how much to wager, in increments of $0.50. The minimum amount is 0.50 per play, or you can bet up to $5. The more you put down, the more you can win.
Make sure you don't miss out on an upcoming draw. You can play the same numbers for up to 21 consecutive draws - that's 42 draws if you want to enter both the Day draw and the Evening draw.
The Day draw takes place at 1:10 PM ET, followed by the Evening draw at 6:50 PM ET. The cut-off time for the Day draw is 1:00 PM ET, and for the Evening draw it is 6:50 PM.
Pick 4 is a Tri-State Lottery game, so the state lotteries of New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont all participate in the same draw and use the same winning numbers. Drawings are held in New Hampshire using traditional machines and numbered balls.
Each bet type has its own set of winning conditions. For example, if you play a Straight, you must match all four numbers in exact order. The prize you can win depends on how you play, with the rewards increasing proportionally if you wager more. Head over to the Odds and Prizes page to see all the payouts, and your chances of winning.
