South Carolina (SC) Pick 4 Lottery Results: Recent Draw Winning Numbers

How to Play Pick 4

Pick 4 is a four-digit lottery game offered by the South Carolina Education Lottery (SCEL). With multiple play types, draw times, and the option to increase your chances of winning with the FIREBALL feature, Pick 4 is a game full of excitement and opportunities.

Drawings for Pick 4 occur twice daily:

• Evening Drawings: Held every evening at 6:59 PM, and aired live on local television stations.

• Midday Drawings: Held Monday through Saturday at 12:59 PM (not televised).No midday drawings are held on Sundays or Christmas Day.

Players can select different play styles to match numbers in exact or any order, and they can purchase combo tickets to cover multiple combinations. Each play costs $0.50 or $1, with combo tickets priced based on the number of possible combinations.

Boost Your Chances with FIREBALL

Add the FIREBALL feature to your Pick 4 ticket to unlock even more ways to win! Here’s how it works:

• After each Pick 4 drawing, one FIREBALL number (0 to 9) is drawn.

• The FIREBALL number can replace one of the drawn Pick 4 numbers to create additional winning combinations.

• If your selected numbers match any of the FIREBALL prizewinning combinations, you win a FIREBALL prize!

• FIREBALL prizes are paid in addition to base game prizes.

Adding FIREBALL doubles the cost of each play but significantly increases your chances of winning.

Step-by-Step: How to Play Pick 4

Follow these simple steps to play Pick 4 and customize your ticket:

1. Pick Your Numbers

Select a four-digit number from 0000 to 9999. Use one panel (labeled PLAY A – PLAY E) for each desired play.

2. Use Quick Pick (Optional)

Want the system to choose your numbers for you? Mark the “QUICK PICK” box to let the terminal randomly select your numbers. You can use Quick Pick for any or all of your plays.

3. Choose Your Play Amount

Select the amount you’d like to wager:

• $0.50 per play

• $1 per play

For Combo tickets, the price depends on the number of possible combinations:

• 4-way Combo: $2 or $4

• 6-way Combo: $3 or $6

• 12-way Combo: $6 or $12

• 24-way Combo: $12 or $24

4. Select Your Play Type

Pick one of the following play types based on how you want to match the winning numbers:

Straight Play (STR)

• Match all four numbers in the exact order drawn.

• Example: If you select 1234, you win only if the numbers are drawn exactly as 1234.

Box Play (BOX)

• Match all four numbers, but the order doesn’t matter.

• Types of Box Plays:

  • 4-Way Box: Select a number with three identical digits and one unique digit (e.g., 1112). This creates four possible combinations: 1112, 1121, 1211, 2111.

  • 6-Way Box: Select a number with two identical pairs (e.g., 1122). This creates six possible combinations: 1122, 1212, 1221, 2112, 2121, 2211.

  • 12-Way Box: Select a number with two identical digits and two unique digits (e.g., 1123). This creates twelve possible combinations.

  • 24-Way Box: Select a number with all unique digits (e.g., 1234). This creates twenty-four possible combinations.

Straight/Box (STR/BX)

• Combine a $0.50 Straight and a $0.50 Box play for a single four-digit number.

• Example: If you select 1234, you win if the numbers are drawn exactly as 1234 (Straight) or in any order (Box).

Combo Play

• This play type is equal to 4, 6, 12, or 24 Straight plays for $0.50 or $1 each.

• Example: If you play a 24-way Combo for $1, you’re essentially covering all 24 possible Straight combinations of your number (e.g., 1234).

• Combo payouts:

  • $0.50 wager: Win $2,500.

  • $1 wager: Win $5,000.

5. Add FIREBALL (Optional)

Mark the “ADD FIREBALL” option to include the FIREBALL feature on your ticket. Adding FIREBALL doubles the cost of each play but significantly increases your chances of winning.

How FIREBALL Works:

• After each drawing, one FIREBALL number (0 to 9) is drawn.

• The FIREBALL number can replace any one of the drawn Pick 4 numbers to create new winning combinations.

• Prizes are awarded for all FIREBALL prizewinning combinations in addition to base game wins.

6. Choose Your Draw Time

Select the drawing time(s) for your ticket:

• Day Draw (12:59 PM)

• Evening Draw (6:59 PM)

If no draw time is selected, your ticket will be valid for the next available drawing.

7. Play Multi-Draws

Want to play the same numbers for multiple consecutive drawings? Choose the Multi-Draw option:

• Up to 14 consecutive draws for Day or Evening drawings.

• Up to 28 consecutive draws for both Day and Evening drawings.

Want to play for a future draw instead of the current one? Select the Advanced Play option to pick a specific draw day.
