How to Play 4D Lotto — Rules, Prizes & Odds

Everything you need to play 4D Lotto, the PCSO game drawn every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9PM. Pick one digit from 0 to 9 in each of four columns to form your 4-digit combination — or use Lucky Pick for a random set. 4D Lotto does not use the same fixed-prize Rambolito tiers as 2D or 3D, but PCSO offers Perm/Rambol, ROLL 1, and ROLL 4 play options. Winning combinations are still evaluated against the official four-digit draw order. The prize is pari-mutuel, changing every draw based on ticket sales. This page covers the full rules, how the pari-mutuel system works, the draw schedule, where to watch, and how to claim.

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:

SelectionCombinationsTotal Cost (₱10 each)
4 different digits (e.g. 1234)24₱240.00
2 different digits + 1 pair of same digits (e.g. 1233)12₱120.00
2 different pairs of same digits (e.g. 1122)6₱60.00
3 same digits + 1 different digit (e.g. 11124₱40.00

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.
