How to Play Mississippi Cash 4
Cash 4 can be played from any lottery retailer in Mississippi. It works in a similar way to Cash 3, except that there’s one extra number to pick so there’s even more play options and you can win even better prizes. Follow the steps below to take part:
Choose four numbers from 0 to 9
Start by picking four numbers between 0 and 9. In each play area, you’ll see all the numbers from 0 to 9 listed four times, so you can pick the same one multiple times if you want. If you don’t want to choose your own numbers, mark the Quick Pick option at the bottom of your playslip and a random set will be generated.
Select a play type
The second section of each area on your playslip allows you to choose how you want to play. You can choose whether you want to try and match your four numbers in any order or exactly the right order.
You can choose whether to play for $0.50 or $1, which directly determines how much you can win. You can also select Exact or Any Order for $1, where half of your stake goes on predicting that your numbers will match precisely, and the other half that they will match in any order.
The final option is a Combo play. This is where every different combination of your four numbers is entered into the draw as an Exact Order play. The price you have to pay for a Combo ranges from $4 to $24, depending on how many of your numbers are identical to each other.
Decide how many drawings to enter
You can enter up to seven consecutive drawings for extra convenience. Mark the number of draws you want to play in the Multidraw area of your playslip. Leave it blank if you just want to be entered into the next drawing.
