He played different combinations of the same four numbers 1, 9, 4, 3, his birth year for each of the plays.

In N. J. the most you can wager on pick 4 per ticket is $5.00. Sounds like Iowa may have a higher wager amount per selection. Still find this story incredible, but hey, He won the $200K. Good for him.

I've been playing daily 3 and daily 4 for years and I still can't figure out how everyone wins big money.......

Your assumptions are incorrect, not everyone wins big money. Winning big money is the exception not the norm or it wouldn't be news.

Yeah, a bunch of states have 60% payout for pick 3/4 instead of the standard 50% payout. More states should follow.

I believe MA has the highest at 63% payout, but that's pari-mutuel so you can't do this trick of loading up on the duplicate wagers/numbers there.(or in the other pari-mutuel pick 3/4 states

You're right. Just looked at Iowa and can't believe they pay 6k for straight.

Comment #31

RedStang — Sun, 23 Feb 2014 15:54:07 GMT

When they pick the numbers i like to shout Yes Yes Yes, Yes Yes Yes, Yes Yes Yes.

Jon D — Sun, 23 Feb 2014 14:41:24 GMT

I was puzzled by the $200k amount too, the numbers didn't seem to add up. So I searched and found a report showing the breakdown of his 42 wins, as I mentioned previously:

He won 32 prizes of $6,000, two prizes of $3,000 and eight prizes of $250.

That's a very particular/peculiar wager, so he most definitely had a plan and intentions for that $200,000 total prize amount.

RedStang — Sun, 23 Feb 2014 02:14:39 GMT

How did he win 200k playing different combinations. If i hit it straight 42 times i would only win 210k.

Wiley Tuley is a player's type of player

Comment #26

Jon D — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 23:35:59 GMT

Yep, that was a strange wager. He was definitely targeting that $200,000 prize amount.

They sure do.......Tennessee would never let that happen.........just this past week, on a tennessee cash 4 morning draw 2980.........the payout was

872.00 .........the tennessee lottery will not give the number of winners..........i sure it would be embarassing.......

This is one incredible lottery winning. Does Iowa charge 50 cents for straight,box, and pairs? Don't play Pick-4 so inthe dark on how much those 14 tickets would have cost him. Congratulations to Mr. Wiley Tuley. That is one of my siblings birth year,1943.

Comment #17

Jon D — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 15:01:29 GMT

Iowa is a 60% payout pick 3/4 state.

He won 32 prizes of $6,000, two prizes of $3,000 and eight prizes of $250.

Those prize amounts suggest he wagered $41 on those 42 lines.

savagegoose — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 14:53:31 GMT

Congrats to the lucky winner. I alwas play pick 4 numbers that start with 19XX. When they come the lottery pays out alot of money because people usually play their birth year or a family member birth year.

Good Lord I wonder how much that cost him over the years? Pick 4 is everyday in my state so if he had been doing that everyday for years he might have just broke even LOL

Hunch or not, anyone spending that kind of money on a pick4 game is serious.

Comment #4

Stack47 — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 04:39:49 GMT

It looks like a couple of serious players and not the same as a one time $40 on a hunch.

Man wins $200,000 playing Pick 4

Lottery Post — Sat, 22 Feb 2014 02:44:27 GMT

Wiley Tuley is a lucky, lucky man.

The retired electronics technician from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, won $200,000 in Thursday's evening drawing of the Iowa Lottery's Pick 4 game.

Tuley actually won the game multiple times in the single drawing, which was why his prize was so large. He bought 14 tickets, with three plays per ticket. He played different combinations of the same four numbers 1, 9, 4, 3, his birth year for each of the plays. Those four numbers were all winners, which means he won a... [ More ]
