Game Introduction
4D is the most popular lottery draw game in Malaysia and Singapore. The 4D lottery draw is a game of chance consisting of 10,000 different four-digit numbers ranging from 0000 to 9999. The idea of the 4D lottery draw is very simple — You win the draw if the choices of your four-digit numbers appear in the 4D results.
Game Features
Although the objectives of 4D lottery draw games are pretty simple to understand, there are a few features that you might want to know more about:
Standard Bet
Any standard 4D lottery draw game shares a very common feature. All you have to do is to choose your lucky or favorite number(s) from 0000 to 9999. Then, you may choose to bet the number on “big” or “small” and patiently wait for the 4D results to be announced — just as simple as that!
- Big Bet
You will have a higher winning chance when you are betting your numbers on “Big” as there are 23 winning numbers to match. For example, 1st Prize, 2nd Prize, 3rd Prize, 10 Starter Prizes, and 10 Consolation Prizes.
- Small Bet
If you place your number on the “Small” bet, you win a prize only if your 4D number appears in the top three prize categories. However, it offers greater rewards than the “Big bet” as it has lower chances of winning.
You can place a Big or Small bet, or both together, from these two bet types.
Other Betting Options
Other than that, there are more betting options available in the 4D lottery draw game. The followings are some of the most popular betting options:
- Roll
Roll bet allows you to roll or replace any digit of your four-digit number. The rolling digit is designated by ‘R’ and represents any number from 0 to 9. Hence, a total of 10 numbers will be generated.
- Box/iBox/Permutate
You may cover all the permutations of your four-digit number by betting it on the “Box” bet. By buying all possible combinations, you may increase your chances of winning.
- System Entry
In this option, you may select four digits and place bets on all its possible combinations where a minimum bet amount is required for each combination.
- Lucky Pick/Quick Pick
Lastly, you may go for the lucky pick if you want to try your luck but do not have any favorite numbers on your mind. The system will randomly generate the number combinations for you — it might just be the right number to win!
Game Types

2. 5D

You may place a bet on your favorite five-digit number from 00000 to 99999 and the rest is just about the same. Since the number of combinations has increased, it can be more difficult to win but it can be very exciting due to its lucrative prizes.
3. 6D
If you think 5D is not exciting enough, maybe 6D will be the right game for you! As the name suggests, this lottery game involves six-digit numbers from 000000 to 999999.
