  New at this. 

  Could someone please explain to me why this ticket isn't a winner?

   

  My pick 4 KY # 0521 st/bx 1.00 for 3/1/06 eve draw

  winning # for 3/1/06 eve draw is 1500

   

  The back of the play slip states:

  st/box 4-way: 3 same #'s, $1.00 min wager, $600.00 any order.

  For a Pick 4 to have 3 same numbers and be a "4-way" it would have to be like 1000.  That is a 4-way because there are 4 ways to play that combo ... 1000, 0100, 0010, and 0001.  That would pay $600 no matter which order you played them. 

  The back of the playslip is NOT saying that if YOU get 3 of the 4 numbers called you win something.  Normally in Pick 4 you have to have ALL 4 digits called in your number that you played.

  In order to have won, all 4 numbers would have to match any order. If you had played what had came out; you would have won $2700.  $2500 for having 1500 str and $200 for having a double digit number boxed.

  Thats why you didn't win because you don't have the same 4 numbers that was drawn.

  This is from the KY official web site:

  ODDS

  PICK 4 Match Prize Odds Per Play
  1 of 10, 4 times
  Daily
  $1 per play
  $.50 (half prize) Straight $5,000 1:10,000
  Box
  4 way $1,200 1:2,500
  Box
  6 way $800 1:1,667
  Box
  12 way $400 1:833
  Box
  24 way $200 1:417
  

  Since you were playing str/box, you had 50 cents on the straight and 50 cents on the box.  The payouts would be 1/2 of what is shown above.  IF you had the 1500 as a box then you would have won $200 because that is a 12-way number which pays $400 for a $1 wager.
