In each of 4 columns numbered 0 to 9, mark 1 number for each game you choose to play (you can play up to 4 on the one ticket), along with your wager for each game, which can range from 50 cents to $6 per standard game. Or you could opt to use the Auto Pick system to automatically choose your numbers.

You also need to choose a bet type: exact order (Straight), any order (Box), or exact or any order (Backup).

Finally, you need to mark that you're playing the Carolina Pick 4 Midday or Evening draw, or Both.

Exact: All four digits must match thewinning digits in the order they're drawn (e.g. 1234)

4-Way Box: Your winning numbers have three digits the same in any order (e.g. 1222)

6-Way Box: Your winning numbers contain two identical pairs, in any order (e.g. 1122)
