prizes depend on odds....the odds are the same for any exact order combination....however, for box (or any order) combinations, having multiple digits be the same, decreases the number of combinations, which makes it harder to win...thus higher prizes....

Just think, for the past 15 years, I thought this was the payout for pick 4 in VA. Something I read or saw made me think that way.

reddog:The payoff on a 4-digit straight is the same whether the number is 7777 or 4567. Boxes pay depending on the digits.

Something isn't right here. On a $1.00 wager when quads come out the payout is supposed to be $20,000. not $5,000 like what was stated in the news release.$5,000 is for single numbers ex. 1372 on a $1.00 wager.$10,000 for double # like 7723$15,000 for tripple # like 7771$20,000 for quad # like 2222
