Vary Your PICK 4 Play with Quick Pick
Give yourself another chance to win with quick pick. The computer will randomly select a number for a minimum $.50 bet for that day's Lottery drawing. Quick pick numbers will automatically be played straight unless you specify another type of bet. It's a fast chance to give yourself another way to win.
PICK 4 Advance Play
Tickets for PICK 4 day and PICK 4 evening can be purchased ahead of time. That means PA Lottery players can be picking Lottery numbers up to seven times (one week) in advance.
How to Claim a PICK 4 Lottery Prize
Take your winning ticket to a PA Lottery games retailer to validate. The retailer may pay valid Lottery prizes up to and including $2,500 per ticket. If the Lottery payout is over $600, you must complete a claim form. You must also file a claim form for any winning Lottery ticket older than 180 days. For more details, see how to claim a Lottery prize.
