4D Lotto draw schedule

Ticket sales run from 7:00 AM and close around 8:00 to 8:30 PM on draw nights. 4D draws on the exact same three nights as Mega Lotto 6/45, every single week.

Here is when every other PCSO game draws:

• Ultra Lotto 6/58: Tuesday, Friday, Sunday at 9 PM
• Grand Lotto 6/55: Monday, Wednesday, Saturday at 9 PM
• Super Lotto 6/49: Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday at 9 PM
• Mega Lotto 6/45: Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 9 PM
• Lotto 6/42: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at 9 PM
• 6D Lotto: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at 9 PM
• 3D Lotto: Monday to Sunday at 2 PM, 5 PM, 9 PM
• 2D Lotto: Monday to Sunday at 2 PM, 5 PM, 9 PM

How to check a 4D lotto result against your ticket

Check the game name on your ticket first, then the draw date, then the four digits. Confirm against pcso.gov.ph or the live draw stream last. Skip that order, and a genuine loss can feel like a win, or the other way around.

The mistake specific to this game is the same trap as 6D: Mega Lotto 6/45 shares all three of 4D's draw nights and pays out on any-order matches, but 4D requires exact order. If the draw posts 5-2-8-1 and your ticket reads 1-8-2-5, that is not a match, even though it is the same four digits.

Two more mistakes cost real tickets:

• Draw day drift. 4D is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Not Tuesday, not Saturday. A template built for Lotto 6/42 or 6D will get this wrong.
• The 8 PM cutoff. Outlets stop selling around 8:00 to 8:30 PM. A ticket bought after that rolls to the next 4D date, so checking it against tonight's draw manufactures a loss that never happened.

One more detail: because digits can repeat, a combination like 3-3-7-7 is just as valid a play as 1-2-3-4. There is no rule against reusing a digit across columns.

What a 4D Lotto prize is really worth

4D's odds are 1 in 10,000 for 1st Prize, since four columns each carry ten possible digits in a fixed order: 10 to the 4th power. That is a hundred times shorter than 6D's 1-in-1,000,000 odds, making 4D the best odds of any PCSO lotto game by a wide margin. The trade-off is the ceiling: 4D's Minimum Guaranteed Amount is ₱10,000, well below 6D's ₱150,000 floor.

Only 1st Prize is pari-mutuel, dividing the pool among winners if more than one ticket matches all four digits. 2nd and 3rd Prize pay their fixed amount no matter how many other people also win that tier the same night.

Unlike 6D, 4D never offers a "first N digits" consolation prize, only "last N." Matching the first two or three digits and missing the rest wins nothing here.

How to claim your 4D Lotto prize

Sign the back of your ticket the same night, using the exact name on your government ID. Keep it flat, not folded in a wallet. A cracked barcode or thermal fade is enough for an outlet to turn you away.

4D uses the same claim thresholds as 6D, not the number games' ₱300,000 breakpoint:

• ₱10,000 and below: any authorized outlet or the nearest PCSO branch. Cash, no tax, two valid IDs.
• ₱10,001 to ₱500,000: a PCSO branch office. Bring two IDs and your TIN. PCSO withholds 20% final tax under the TRAIN Law. Weekdays only, roughly 8:15 AM to 4:30 PM.
• Above ₱500,000: the PCSO Main Office, 2nd Floor.

You have one year from the draw date to claim. For the full walkthrough, including what to bring and what actually happens at the branch counter, read our complete guide to claiming PCSO lotto winnings.

One warning worth repeating: PCSO does not text winners asking for a "processing fee," and it does not validate prizes over Messenger. If that message arrives, it is a scam.
