Daily 4 has 13 main play types: Straight, Box (4 different numbers), Box (2 like numbers), Box (2 sets of like numbers), Box (3 like numbers), Straight/Box (4 different numbers) - exact order, Straight/Box (4 different numbers) - any order, Straight/Box (2 like numbers) - exact order, Straight/Box (2 like numbers) - any order, Straight/Box (2 sets of like numbers) - exact order, Straight/Box (2 sets of like numbers) - any order, Straight/Box (3 like numbers) - exact order, Straight/Box (3 like numbers) - any order. Each works differently. Straight means exact order, pick 1-2-3, and only 1-2-3 wins. Odds: 1 in 10,000. Box matches any order, 1-2-3 wins as 3-2-1, 2-1-3, etc. Better odds, smaller prize. Combo plays every possible order as separate Straight bets for maximum coverage, higher cost. You can mix multiple play types on one ticket. Many players do a small Box wager plus a larger Straight bet on their favorite number.

Daily 4 is exclusive to California. You'll need to be physically present in California to buy tickets, either at a retail location or through a licensed courier service while you're in-state.
