Understand 4D rules and prize categories
Explore basic game types, prize rules, worked examples and comparisons between operators.
Checking a ticket step by step
First check the operator and draw date on your ticket, then the four digits, permutation type and whether the bet is Big or Small. The examples below use one hypothetical draw.
Suppose first prize is 4820and one Consolation prize is 7361. Assume 0284 and 4391 do not appear in any prize category in this draw.
1. How do four-digit numbers match?
A straight bet requires all four digits in the same order: 4820 matches 4820; neither 0284 nor 4821 matches it. Keep leading zeros: 0284 is a complete four-digit number.
2. How do Big and Small bets differ?
For standard Magnum 4D Classic and Sports Toto 4D bets, Big covers first, second, third, Special and Consolation prizes. Small covers first, second and third prizes only.
“Big” and “Small” refer to the prize categories covered, not the sum of the four digits.The prize also depends on the operator, stake and bet type on the ticket.
| Bet type on the ticket | Your number | Example outcome | Why? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Straight bet · Big | 4820 | Matches first prize | First prize is 4820. All four digits match in the exact order. |
| Straight bet · Small | 4820 | Matches first prize | Small bets cover first, second and third prizes, so this example also qualifies for first prize. |
| Straight bet · Big or Small | 0284 | Does not match first prize | 0284 and 4820 have different digit orders. A straight bet does not automatically cover other permutations. |
| Straight bet · Big | 7361 | Matches a Consolation prize | 7361 appears in this example's Consolation list, and a Big bet covers Consolation prizes. |
| Straight bet · Small | 7361 | No prize | In this example, 7361 appears only under Consolation. A Small bet does not cover that category. |
| Straight bet · Big or Small | 4391 | No prize | 4391 is not in this example's prize list. Matching only the first digit, 4, does not match the four-digit number. |
3. What are Box and permutation bets?
Only a ticket explicitly purchased for a permutation product covers its specified arrangements. For example, a product covering all permutations of 0284 includes 4820. If the prize category is also covered, that product's prize rules apply.
Products such as Magnum mBox and Sports Toto i-Perm have different rules. Straight bets, full permutations and Box products that split the stake do not necessarily pay the same prizes. Check the product on your ticket.
4. What are first, Special and Consolation prizes?
These are categories in the draw list. Find the category containing your number, then check whether your ticket covers it. In this example, 7361 is a Consolation number; that does not mean every bet type wins a prize.
“4D” normally means a four-digit game. Matching only the first digit does not qualify as matching the number.
