How to Play DC 4

The DC-4 is a four-digit lottery game that features eleven ways to win with a top prize of $5,000 for each draw. Additional lottery prizes may vary from $100 to $2,500, with some excellent odds of winning which makes this game one of the most played ones of the DC Lottery. DC-4 holds its draws twice a day thereby offering you multiple chances to win every week. However, just like DC-5, the wager you select determines how big a prize you can win.

For playing DC-4, you have to select 4 numbers from a field of 0 to 9. You can either manually select your numbers or choose the Quick Pick to get your numbers randomly generated or you also have the option to use a playslip and choose one digit, 0-9 from each column and have your lottery numbers. After picking your numbers, you must select the draw time - Midday or Evening and pick your playstyle from different ways of playing i.e. Box, Straight, Straight/Box, Front Three, and Back Three and also select the wager amount from $0.50 to $1.00.

The DC-4 drawings are held twice a day, daily at 1:50 p.m. ET for the Midday draw and at 7:50 p.m. ET for the Evening draw. You are eligible to purchase the DC-4 Midday tickets till 1:49 pm ET and DC-4 Evening tickets till 7:49 pm ET.

DC-4 lets you play the same numbers for up to seven consecutive draws. Marking the Multi-draw option on your ticket lets you play the same numbers consecutively for seven draws, which is quite a good opportunity and requires a wary selection of numbers so that you bag a good winning amount.

The lottery also caters you with the option of playing any future draw of DC-4 up to seven days in advance by selecting the day and draw time you wish to play. Marking Advance Play lets you play a future draw of your wish, for any day and time. If you want to play more than one game, notify the lottery retailers of your start and end dates. Always ensure to check the accuracy of the details filled on your playslip and sign the back of your ticket for authentication.
