Arkansas Cash 4 Results

How to Play

Game Basics: Cash 4 is a four-digit lottery game from the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery where players select four numbers from 0 to 9, creating combinations from 0000 to 9999. The game offers four primary ways to play with several variations, providing multiple opportunities to win prizes up to $5,000.

Drawing Schedule:

• Midday Drawing: 12:59 PM Central Time (Monday through Saturday only)
• Evening Drawing: 6:59 PM Central Time (Every day of the week including Sunday)
• Sales suspend 4 minutes before each drawing (12:55 PM for midday, 6:55 PM for evening)

Number Selection: Choose four digits from 0-9 for each position. Numbers can repeat across positions, allowing combinations like 1111, 2222, 0000, or any other four-digit combination. Each of the four digit positions is selected independently.

Play Types and Prize Structure:

1. STRAIGHT Play: Your four numbers must match the winning numbers in the exact order drawn.

• Example: If you play 1-2-3-4 Straight, you win only if 1-2-3-4 is drawn in that exact order
• $0.50 wager wins $2,500
• $1.00 wager wins $5,000
• Odds: 1 in 10,000

2. BOX Play (Four Variations): Your numbers can match the winning numbers in any order. The prize amount and odds depend on how many digits repeat:

4-Way Box: Three digits are identical (like 1-1-1-2 or 5-5-5-7)

• Wins if your numbers match in any of 4 possible orders
• Example: 1-1-1-2 wins if drawn as 1-1-1-2, 1-1-2-1, 1-2-1-1, or 2-1-1-1
• $0.50 wager wins $600
• $1.00 wager wins $1,200
• Odds: 1 in 2,500

6-Way Box: Two pairs of identical digits (like 1-1-2-2 or 3-3-5-5)

• Wins if your numbers match in any of 6 possible orders
• Example: 1-1-2-2 wins if drawn as 1-1-2-2, 1-2-1-2, 1-2-2-1, 2-1-1-2, 2-1-2-1, or 2-2-1-1
• $0.50 wager wins $400
• $1.00 wager wins $800
• Odds: 1 in 1,667

12-Way Box: Two digits are identical, two are unique (like 1-1-2-3 or 4-4-5-6)

• Wins if your numbers match in any of 12 possible orders
• Example: 1-1-2-3 wins in any arrangement of these four digits (12 different ways)
• $0.50 wager wins $200
• $1.00 wager wins $400

24-Way Box: All four digits are unique (like 1-2-3-4 or 5-6-7-8)

• Odds: 1 in 417

3. STRAIGHT/BOX Combination: This combines a 50 cent Straight play and a 50 cent Box play on the same set of numbers for a total cost of $1.00.

• If you match in exact order: You win both the Straight prize ($1,250 for 50 cent Straight) AND the Box prize
• If you match in any order but not exact: You win only the Box prize (varies by box type)
• This option gives you two chances to win with one set of numbers
• Total cost is always $1.00 (50 cents for Straight + 50 cents for Box)

4. COMBO Play: Plays every possible Straight combination of your chosen numbers. The cost equals a Straight play for every combination possible.

• Cost varies from $2 to $24 depending on your number configuration:
  • 4-Way Combo (three digits identical): $2 ($0.50 x 4) or $4 ($1.00 x 4)
  • 6-Way Combo (two pairs): $3 ($0.50 x 6) or $6 ($1.00 x 6)
  • 12-Way Combo (one pair): $6 ($0.50 x 12) or $12 ($1.00 x 12)
  • 24-Way Combo (all unique): $12 ($0.50 x 24) or $24 ($1.00 x 24)
• Each combination is played as a separate Straight bet
• Win the full Straight prize ($2,500 or $5,000) if any combination matches exactly
• This maximizes your chances of winning the top Straight prize

Wager Amounts:

• Choose either $0.50 or $1.00 per play for Straight and Box bets
• Straight/Box combination is always $1.00 total (50 cents + 50 cents)
• Combo plays cost the wager amount multiplied by the number of combinations (4, 6, 12, or 24)
