You win the jackpot when your ticket matches the winning draw numbers in exact order. The different playstyles include Exact Order, Any Order, 50/50, Combo, Pairs.
Adding FIREBALL to your ticket gives you the chance of winning additional lottery prizes. After each Pick 4 drawing, the FIREBALL numbers are drawn from a field of 0 to 9. Marking FIREBALL on your ticket improves your possibility of winning a prize. These winning amounts are additional or separate from your Pick 4 winnings.
