The game
Fixed prizes: why your payout is set before the draw
Some number games split a prize pool between everybody who wins. fourdigits does not: every prize is a fixed multiple of your stake, known before you buy. What that means for you.
Two ways to pay a prize
In a pool game, everybody’s stakes go into a pot and the winners share it, so a prize depends on how many other people picked the same number. In a fixed-odds game, each prize is a set multiple of the stake, whatever anybody else did. fourdigits pays fixed prizes, like traditional 4D.
What you know in advance
Because the multiples are fixed, the quote can tell you before you buy exactly what each tier would pay on your ticket: 3,500× your stake for first prize, 2,000× for second, 1,000× for third, 500× for Special, 200× for Consolation and 100× for Luck By Chance. That figure does not change after the draw.
Popular numbers are not penalised
In a pool game, choosing a popular number such as a birthday means sharing the pot with more people. With fixed odds, it makes no difference how many others chose 1212 or 0101. If your number comes out, you are paid the multiple on your own stake, in full.
One number, one prize per draw
All 48 winning numbers in a draw are different, so a single number can win at most one tier in a draw. A ticket that holds several numbers, such as a Box, can win on more than one of them, and each winning number is paid at its own tier.
