4-Digits (abbreviation: 4-D) is a lottery in Germany, Singapore, and Malaysia. Individuals play by choosing any number from 0000 to 9999. Then, twenty-three winning numbers are drawn each time. If one of the numbers matches the one that the player has bought, a prize is won. A draw is conducted to select these winning numbers. 4-Digits is a fixed-odds game.

Magnum 4D is the first legalised 4D Operator licensed by the Malaysian Government to operate 4D. Soon thereafter, other lottery operators followed suit, as this is a very popular game in Singapore and Malaysia. The recently launched Daily Derby 4D Blue and Green and 5D jackpots of WTL-M is also growing popular now. Singapore Pools is the sole provider of gambling games in Singapore. 4-D and lottery 6/49 are two of the most popular. A similar 4-D game with its prize structure fully revealed can be found in Taiwan and Cambodia.[1][2]

4-Digits is somewhat similar to "Pick 4" in the United States, Canada 5-Digits "Pick 5", and Jackpot in Germany and Malaysia.

4D

[edit]

The 4-D game is believed to have originated in Kedah in 1951, based on evidence during a gambling trial in a Singapore court in 1956. [citation needed]

A schoolboy decided to raffle his bicycle for 100 $1 tickets, each bearing two digits. The winner would be the one whose ticket number matched the last two digits of the first prize ticket in a Malaysian Turf Club sweepstake. This led to the 2-D lottery, which in turn gave rise to 3-D and later, 4-D, betting games which were wildly popular in Singapore and Malaysia from the 1950s. [citation needed]

The Singapore Turf Club was the first to introduce the 4-D draw in Singapore in May 1966, offering a S$2,000 first prize for a $1 ticket. It stopped offering it in May 2004 when its sister company Singapore Pools took over all the draws.

Singapore Pools launched computerised betting for 4-D on 31 May 1986, and it got off to an auspicious start when the winning number for the first prize in the inaugural draw turned out to be 8838. The number "8" sounds like fā (Chinese: 发) or "prosper" in Mandarin and is traditionally a favourite among punters. Punters welcomed the new 4-D product and the company's turnover that year increased 215%, to over S$283 million.

Methods of play

[edit]
A 4-D betting slip in Singapore

Ordinary entry refers to a specific number. Example: 1234. 4-D Roll substitutes any one of the four digits with 'R'. (i.e. R123, 1R23, 12R3 and 123R) where 'R' denotes all digits from 0 to 9. Only one digit can be substituted with 'R'. For example, if you mark R234, you are actually buying 10 Ordinary Entries (i.e. 0234, 1234, 2234, 3234... 9234). System entry is a bet on all the possible permutations of a 4-D number, for example the number 1234 has 24 permutations (1234, 2341, 3412, 4123...). iBet is a System Entry bet priced from $1, regardless of the number of permutations. Quick pick is bet on a random number selected by a computer.

Variances

[edit]

Singapore

[edit]

In Singapore, 4-D draws are conducted every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 1830h (SG/HK Time) at Singapore Pools' main branch at 210 Middle Road. Anyone above the age of 18 can attend the draws.

An independent external auditor and five draw officials are involved in the draw process. Before the draw, a specially designed computer is run to randomly select the draw machine and the set of draw balls to be used. A backup machine is also chosen.

The selected draw balls, numbered 0 to 9, are weighed to ensure that their individual weights are within an acceptable margin of error. This is to ensure that each ball has practically the same chance of being drawn.

The selected machines, secured under lock and numbered seal in a storage room, is transferred to the draw hall, along with the balls.

The balls are loaded into the draw machine in front of the audience. A member of the audience is then invited to press the start switch on the control panel, launching the draw. The balls in the draw machine, made up of four transparent cylinders, spin until a ball is sucked into a groove found in each cylinder.

The drawing process, starting from the consolation prizes, is repeated until all 23 sets of winning numbers are drawn.

Malaysia

[edit]

In Malaysia, there are four main 4D providers – Sports Toto, Magnum 4D, Derby Blue and Derby Green and Dà Mǎ Cǎi. Dà Mǎ Cǎi is run by Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn. Bhd. All 4 are independent private companies accredited and approved by Government of Malaysia. These 4D operators are known as Number Forecast Operators.

Malaysia 4D draws daily and some on every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, which coincide with Singapore's 4D draw. However, sometimes, there will be a special draw on Tuesday.

Magnum 4D offers the classic 4D game – the player picks a 4 digit number and chooses the amount he wants to bet. There are "Big" and "Small" Forecasts. A "Small" bet will warrant higher winnings, but the player will only win if his number comes up in the first, second or third places. The winnings are lower for a "Big" bet, but in addition to the first, second and third places, there are 10 "Special" numbers which pay RM180 for a RM1 bet, and 10 "consolation" numbers which pay RM60 for a RM1 bet. Magnum is the first legalised 4D operator to be awarded the licence by the Malaysian Government. In September 2009, Magnum introduced a new game which is an extension of the popular 4D game but with a parimutuel element; this game was copyrighted by Magnum. This game is more popular than the other Lotto games in Malaysia, and This year best number for 1st prize is 8734.

Dà Mǎ Cǎi (大马彩; literally "Pan-Malaysia Lottery" in Mandarin) has a 3D game as well as 4D (which they call 1+3D). Unlike the 1+3D, the 3D only has first, second, and third places. Prizes are significantly lower than 1+3D, the top prize being RM660 for Big First place. Their 1+3D follows the same structure as the Magnum 4D. Dà Mǎ Cǎi also have 3D and 1+3D Jackpot Games. The latest product introduced from Dà Mǎ Cǎi is Dà Mǎ Cǎi Jackpot in January 2014 with a minimum payout of 1.8 million for Jackpot 1. In December 2016 Dà Mǎ Cǎi provide mobile betting channel "dmcGO" apps (IOS and Android)

Sports Toto, in addition to the basic 4D played the same way as Magnum and Dà Mǎ Cǎi, runs 5D and 6D games as well. Unlike 4D, 5D and 6D do not have "Big" and "Small" Forecasts. First prize for 6D is RM100,000 and first prize for 5D is RM15,000. If the last 4, 3, or 2 digits of your 5D number (or the last 5, 4, 3, or 2 digits of your 6D number) match the first prize number, you still get a prize. Sports Toto also offers three lottery games, similar to those seen in Western countries. These are Star Toto 6/50, Power Toto 6/55 & Supreme Toto 6/58. The last number indicates the highest number – Star Toto 6/50 requires the player to pick 6 numbers from 1 to 50. The Supreme Toto 6/58 has the highest prizes (first prize is a minimum of more than RM8.8 million) but the probability of winning is lower than the others games as there are more numbers.

WTL-M Daily Derby 4D and 5D Jackpots is almost the same as the above three. It runs 4D and 5D games. 4D's are daily and monthly two 5D's. The prize structure is like One first prize, One second prize, One third prize, Ten Special and Ten consolation prizes.

The game's enduring popularity stems from its low entry cost—starting at S$1 or equivalent in —and high potential returns, fostering widespread participation across diverse demographics. Despite its simplicity, 4D incorporates elements of strategy, such as analyzing past results for "hot" or "cold" numbers, though outcomes remain random with of 1 in 10,000 for an exact match. Regulated to promote , 4D continues to evolve while maintaining its core format as a beloved fixture in regional and .

Introduction

Definition and Basics

4-Digits, commonly known as 4D, is a fixed-odds game in which participants select a four-digit number ranging from 0000 to 9999. Players place bets on their chosen combination, with prizes determined by matching the drawn numbers exactly. This format emphasizes the prediction of a precise numerical sequence, distinguishing it from games reliant on partial matches or additional elements like bonus balls. In each draw, 23 unique four-digit numbers are selected: one for the first prize, one for the second prize, one for the third prize, ten starters, and ten consolations. Winners receive prizes based on whether their number exactly matches one of these drawn numbers, with the specific prize tier corresponding to the draw position—such as first, second, third, starter, or consolation. This structure ensures that the order and exactness of the digits are critical for determining the outcome. 4-Digits requires the full sequence of digits to align precisely with a drawn number for a win in standard entries, though the level varies by the draw category matched. The minimum bet amount is typically S$1 or an equivalent in , making it accessible for broad participation. The game enjoys regional popularity in , where it serves as a staple form of entertainment.

Popularity and Operators

In , 4D stands as the most popular form of , with 30 percent of past-year gamblers participating according to the National Council on Problem Gambling's 2023 survey, slightly edging out TOTO at 29 percent. This widespread appeal underscores its role as a cultural staple, drawing participants across demographics for its simplicity and frequent draws. As of 2025, operators continue to innovate with digital platforms, enhancing accessibility amid steady participation rates. Singapore Pools, established by the government on May 23, 1968, operates as the sole legal provider of lottery games, including 4D, to channel activities away from illegal channels. In contrast, hosts multiple licensed operators for 4D games: , which traces its origins to 1968 and received its license in 1968 as the first private entity for numbers forecast betting; , launched in 1969 and now the largest by outlet count with approximately 680 locations nationwide; Da Ma Cai (operated by Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn Bhd); and smaller entities like WTL-M. These operators collectively dominate the legal 4D market, generating substantial revenue— alone reported RM6.36 billion in fiscal year 2024, primarily from 4D and related products. The economic footprint of 4D extends to social welfare, particularly through government oversight. , fully owned by the Tote Board under the , directed approximately $450 million (part of $12.3 billion or 97 percent of $12.7 billion total turnover in 2024/2025) to community funds supporting arts, sports, and , benefiting Singaporeans via prizes, duties, taxes, and donations. In Malaysia, operators like contribute taxes and levies that bolster public initiatives, though specifics vary by license terms. This structure ensures 4D not only sustains operators but also channels funds toward broader societal benefits.

History

Origins in Malaysia

The 4D lottery, a form of numbers forecast betting, traces its roots to , , in 1951, where it began as a simple two-digit organized by a schoolboy selling $1 tickets to fund the purchase of a . Participants selected numbers matching the last two digits of the first-prize ticket from a turf club , marking an early informal practice tied to results. By the mid-1950s, the game had evolved into a four-digit format through underground operators, as evidenced by a 1956 gambling trial in that highlighted its spread from . These illegal activities proliferated despite bans under laws like the Common Gaming Houses Act 1953, which prohibited public lotteries and gaming houses. The persistence of such rackets in the , driven by high demand, prompted government efforts to regulate and curb revenue losses to illicit networks. In response to the underground boom, Magnum Corporation Sdn Bhd (originally Empat Nombor Ekor Sendirian Berhad), incorporated on 19 1968, received the first private license from the Malaysian government on 1 April 1969 to legally promote, operate, and manage 4D forecast betting. This marked the shift from clandestine operations to a regulated framework, with initial draws conducted using manual mechanical methods, such as number-generating devices. Bet types like "Big" (covering 23 winning numbers for broader but lower payouts) and "Small" (limited to the top three prizes for higher rewards) were established early in the legal era, distinguishing the Malaysian variant's structure.

Introduction and Evolution in Singapore

The four-digit lottery, commonly known as 4D, was first legalized in by the (STC) in 1966 as a measure to curb widespread illegal betting activities that had proliferated since the . This initiative marked 's adoption of a game with roots in Malaysian origins, where similar four-digit had begun in in 1951. Initially operated alongside events, the 4D draws were conducted manually, with results derived from race outcomes, and offered a top prize of S$2,000 for a S$1 bet, attracting significant public interest in its early years. The game's management underwent significant evolution when , established in 1968 to further regulate gambling, began selling 4D bets on May 31, 1986, introducing computerized betting systems at nearly 100 outlets nationwide. This transition from the STC's manual operations to technological integration was highlighted by the inaugural computerized draw's first prize number, 8838, symbolizing prosperity in local culture. Draws initially occurred twice weekly on Saturdays and Sundays, expanding to three times weekly with the addition of Wednesday sessions starting August 9, 2000, to meet growing demand while maintaining regulatory oversight. Further operational milestones included the shift to fully electronic draws on April 6, 1991, eliminating reliance on results, and the introduction of the Quick Pick system on January 11, 1993, allowing automated number selection via mark-sense technology. In a pivotal regulatory change, the Tote Board acquired full ownership of effective April 1, 2004, establishing a monopoly over all legal activities, including 4D, to streamline operations and direct proceeds toward social causes. This consolidation also saw assume direct control of 4D draws from the Bukit Turf Club (successor to STC) on July 4, 2001. The brought additional innovations, such as the launch of iBet on June 16, 2005, enabling bettors to cover permutations of their chosen numbers, and enhancements to Quick Pick for greater accessibility. These developments solidified 4D as a cornerstone of Singapore's legalized gaming landscape, balancing entertainment with responsible governance.

Gameplay

Number Selection and Entry Types

In the 4-Digits lottery in , operated by , players participate by selecting and entering four-digit numbers ranging from 0000 to 9999 through various bet types, each offering different ways to cover potential winning combinations. The ordinary entry is the most straightforward option, where a player bets on a specific four-digit number in exact order, such as , with a minimum stake of S$1 per entry. This type requires an exact match to any of the drawn winning numbers in the precise sequence chosen, providing a direct but singular chance per bet. For broader coverage, system entry allows players to bet on all possible permutations of selected digits, expanding the chances without specifying order. For instance, selecting four unique digits like 1, 2, 3, and 4 generates 24 unique four-digit s (calculated as 4! or 24), with a minimum of S1per[combination](/page/Combination),totalingS1 per [combination](/page/Combination), totaling S24 for this example. This entry type is particularly useful when players believe in the significance of certain digits regardless of arrangement, though it increases the overall stake proportionally to the number of permutations. The 4D Roll entry introduces variability by designating one position as a rolling digit 'R', which represents any number from to 9, thereby covering 10 possible combinations for the chosen three digits in the other positions. An example is R234, encompassing numbers from 0234 to 9234, at a minimum cost of S$10 (10 times the ordinary entry stake due to the 10 variants). This option balances cost and coverage for players seeking to include a wildcard element. Complementing this, iBet serves as a lower-cost alternative to system entry, also covering all permutations of the selected digits but with a total minimum stake of S$1 across all combinations, such as S$1 for the 24 permutations of four unique digits; prizes are then divided proportionally among the covered numbers. Quick Pick provides a convenient, randomized selection where the computer generates the four-digit number automatically for any of the above entry types, maintaining the same minimum stakes and coverage rules, ideal for players preferring not to choose manually. Bets across all types are placed in units, with players able to apply multipliers by wagering multiple units on a single entry. These entry mechanisms form the core of participation in , allowing flexibility in risk and potential coverage while adhering to the game's structured format. In , bet types differ by operator but generally include Big bets (win fixed prizes if matching any of the 23 drawn numbers in exact order), Small bets (higher fixed prizes but only for top three prizes), and (covering all permutations of selected digits, similar to iBet, with prizes divided). Minimum stakes start at RM1, emphasizing simplicity and fixed-odds structure.

Draw Process and Frequency

The draw process for the 4-Digits lottery, commonly known as 4D, employs mechanical methods to ensure fairness and randomness, with numbers ranging from 0000 to 9999 selected without repetition within a single draw. In , operated by , the process begins with computer software randomly selecting one of multiple draw machines and ball sets to prevent predictability. Draw personnel then break seals on the chosen equipment in the presence of an independent public accounting firm, which oversees the entire procedure for integrity. Balls numbered 0000 to 9999 are drawn sequentially from the machine, producing 23 unique four-digit numbers: three for the main prizes (first, second, and third) and 20 additional numbers for starter and consolation prizes. These draws are conducted live and broadcast publicly, allowing real-time verification by participants and observers. In , the draw process varies slightly by operator but follows similar principles of mechanical selection using transparent containers or machines, conducted by company officials assisted by randomly selected members of the public to draw the 23 unique numbers. Auditors or independent witnesses are typically present to certify the and absence of duplicates, with results also broadcast live for . Major operators like Magnum 4D use see-through draw machines to facilitate public scrutiny during the selection of the three main prizes and 20 supplementary numbers from the 0000-9999 pool. Draws in both countries occur multiple times weekly, with Singapore's schedule fixed at three regular sessions on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays at 6:30 PM local time. Malaysian operators generally align their primary draws with Singapore's dates—Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays—to accommodate cross-border play, though times may differ slightly, such as 7:00 PM for Magnum 4D. Some operators, like Damacai, conduct draws up to four times a week (Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays).

Prizes and Odds

Prize Structure

The 4D features a tiered structure designed to reward exact between the player's selected four-digit number and the drawn winning , with payouts determined by fixed . The highest tier, the 1st , is awarded for a precise to the top drawn four-digit number. This is followed by the 2nd for matching the second drawn number and the 3rd for matching the third drawn number. Lower tiers include 10 Starter Prizes, corresponding to the next set of drawn numbers, and 10 Consolation Prizes for the final set, offering additional winning opportunities for exact matches in these categories. In total, 23 four-digit numbers are drawn per game, forming the basis for these prize allocations. Prizes are calculated on a fixed-odds basis, scaling linearly with the number of bet units placed, and can vary depending on entry types such as "Big" (which includes all tiers) or "Small" (limited to the top three prizes). Prize amounts also differ by country and operator; for example, in Singapore, the 1st Prize yields SGD 2,000 for a Big bet or SGD 3,000 for a Small bet per SGD 1 unit, while in Malaysia (e.g., Magnum or Sports Toto), it is typically RM 2,500 (Big) to RM 3,500 (Small) per RM 1 unit. Lower tiers offer more modest fixed amounts, such as SGD 250 or RM 180-250 for Starter/Consolation in Big bets. Certain 4D game variations incorporate components, where a share of sales accumulates into a growing pool that can be claimed by matching specific combinations, enhancing the potential for larger wins beyond standard fixed prizes.

Probability and Odds

In the 4D lottery, the total number of possible outcomes is , corresponding to all four-digit combinations from 0000 to 9999. For an ordinary entry, where a player selects one specific four-digit number, the probability of matching the first prize exactly is therefore 1 in . This can be expressed mathematically as: P(1st Prize)=110,000P(\text{1st Prize}) = \frac{1}{10,000} System bets allow players to cover multiple permutations of their selected digits, improving the chances of a match at the cost of higher stakes. In a System 4 bet, a player chooses four distinct digits and places wagers on all 24 possible arrangements (4! = 24 permutations), effectively covering 24 unique numbers. The probability of matching the first prize with this bet type thus becomes 24 in 10,000, or 1 in approximately 417, though the entry costs 24 times more than a standard ordinary bet. Similarly, P(1st Prize | System 4)=2410,000=0.0024P(\text{1st Prize | System 4}) = \frac{24}{10,000} = 0.0024 4D Roll entries provide another way to enhance odds by fixing three digits and allowing the fourth position to vary across 0-9, covering 10 possible numbers for a single bet. The probability of matching the first prize in this case is 10 in 10,000, or 1 in 1,000. This is calculated as: P(1st Prize | Roll)=1010,000=0.001P(\text{1st Prize | Roll}) = \frac{10}{10,000} = 0.001 Lower-tier prizes, such as Starter and , offer more favorable due to multiple winning numbers in each category. There are 10 Starter Prizes and 10 Prizes drawn per game, totaling 20 numbers for these tiers combined. The probability of matching any one of these is thus 20 in 10,000, or 1 in 500. Overall, each 4D draw selects 23 winning numbers: one each for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Prizes, plus 10 Starters and 10 Consolations. For an ordinary entry, the probability of winning any is therefore 23 in 10,000, or about 1 in 435. This aggregate probability underscores the game's structure, where lower tiers significantly contribute to the chances of some return, though the remains negative due to the house edge.

Variations

Singapore Implementation

The 4D in is exclusively operated by (Private) Limited, a government-owned entity established to provide legal options and curb illegal betting activities. As the sole authorized provider, manages all aspects of the game, from ticket sales to prize distribution, ensuring compliance with national regulations. Participation requires participants to be at least 18 years old for in-person betting, while online account betting is restricted to those aged 21 and above to enhance responsible gaming safeguards. A distinctive feature of the implementation is the iBet entry type, which enables players to wager on all possible permutations of a selected 4-digit number for a minimum total stake of S$1, effectively allowing plays at reduced costs compared to standard entries where each combination costs at least S$1. iBet supports "Big" and "Small" bet options, with prizes calculated proportionally across combinations based on digit patterns. Draws occur every , , and Sunday at 6:30 PM SGT, with results broadcast live and available shortly thereafter. Betting is available up to 15 days in advance for upcoming draws. Singapore Pools enforces rigorous anti-addiction measures through its Safer Play programme, including mandatory age verification, self-exclusion facilities, deposit and spending limits, and reality checks during online sessions to promote responsible participation. Online betting, launched in October 2016 via a secure app and , requires SingPass or manual identity verification for account creation, providing a regulated digital platform for 4D and other lotteries. In , enhancements to digital verification streamlined the process using MyInfo integration with SingPass, reducing approval times to under an hour for eligible users. The game sustains substantial economic activity, with average weekly 4D sales reaching approximately S$50 million as of the latest reported data.

Malaysian Operators and Differences

In Malaysia, the 4D lottery is managed by multiple private operators, each licensed under the Lotteries Act 1952, providing a fragmented market with distinct game variations and bet types. The primary operators include Magnum 4D, , Da Ma Cai, and WTL-M, allowing players to choose based on preferred draw frequencies, jackpot structures, and additional digit options beyond standard 4D. These operators draw independently but share a common pool of participants, enabling cross-operator betting without number exclusivity. Magnum 4D, the pioneering operator licensed in 1968, conducts draws every , , and . It features two main bet types: "Big" bets, which qualify for 23 prize categories including 10 Starter and 10 Consolation prizes at RM180 and RM60 respectively for a RM1 stake, offering broader winning opportunities; and "Small" bets, limited to the top three prizes but with enhanced payouts, such as RM3,500 for the first prize on a RM1 bet, improving for direct matches. This structure emphasizes flexibility for risk-averse players seeking more tiers versus higher rewards. Sports Toto, established in 1969, extends beyond 4D to include 5D and 6D games, with draws primarily on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, though certain promotions enable daily participation options for select variants. The 4D follows a similar Big/Small framework, but 5D offers a top prize of RM15,000 for matching all five digits in the first prize draw, while 6D provides RM100,000 for the full six-digit match, appealing to players interested in progressive digit extensions and guaranteed full payouts without caps. These additions differentiate Sports Toto by incorporating daily-accessible elements in some jackpot-linked plays. Da Ma Cai introduces 3D and 1+3D variants alongside traditional 4D, with draws on the same tri-weekly schedule. The 1+3D game combines a leading digit with three trailing digits (000-999), available in Big (23 numbers) or Small (top three) bets starting at RM1, and features the Jackpot 1+3D introduced to enhance appeal with a minimum payout of RM2,000,000 for Jackpot 1, snowballing across draws for multi-million-ringgit potential. The 3D variant focuses on three-digit matches with options like and iBox bets, providing simpler entry for lower-stake players. WTL-M operates as a niche provider with daily 4D draws, contrasting the tri-weekly norm, and incorporates monthly 5D jackpots that accumulate for escalated prizes, targeting frequent players in West with streamlined access and fewer restrictions on entry volume. Key differences among Malaysian operators include higher draw frequencies—up to daily for WTL-M and select options—compared to standardized schedules elsewhere, fostering a dynamic betting environment. Numbers are not shared across operators, ensuring independent outcomes, though participants aged 18 and above can engage multiple platforms simultaneously for diversified plays. This multi-operator model promotes competition while maintaining a minimum participation age of 18 to align with regulatory safeguards.
