4-Digits

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

4-Digits (4D) is a lottery in Singapore and Malaysia. People play by choosing any number from 0000 to 9999. 23 winning numbers are drawn each time. If one of the numbers match the one that the player has bought, a prize is won. The 4D banker chooses the bets with the lowest bet frequencies for the prizes.

Singapore Pools is the sole provider of gambling games in Singapore. 4D and lottery 6/45 are two of the most popular. A similar 4D game with its prize structure fully revealed can be found in Taiwan. [1].

In USA and Canada, 4-Digits is known as "Pick 4".
