  Hello,

  I am fairly new here. My mother and aunt play the lottery all the time and I suddenly now got the case of the lotto bug. They typically just use quick pick but I want to be a bit more analytical. I finally found a system for Play 4. I tested it (but still trying to tweak) and is working on Play 5. However as a novice I am still fairly new on the simplicity of filling in a lottery ticket. I am aiming for the box/straight as it is a straight win for me based on the system that I choose.

  My question is if I choose box; how does the system decipher to choose 4 WAY or 24 WAY. It would hurt to have lost because the ticket automatically ran for 4 WAY instead of 24 WAY.

  My question is if I choose box; how does the system decipher to choose 4 WAY or 24 WAY. It would hurt to have lost because the ticket automatically ran for 4 WAY instead of 24 WAY.

  It depends on the number you play.
  
  4 WAY BOX  #1112  50C =  $600  $1 = $1200 
  
  6 WAY BOX  #1122  50C =  $400  $1 = $800
  
  12 WAY BOX  #1123  50C = $200  $1 = $400
  
  24 WAY BOX  #1234  50C = $100  $1 = $200
  
  STRAIGHT #1234  OR ANY NUMBER IN EXACT ORDER  50C =$2500  $1 = $5000
  
  STRAIGHT/ BOX 4 WAY #1112   STRAIGHT/ BOX = $3100  BOX ONLY = $600
  
  STRAIGHT/ BOX 6 WAY # 1122  STRAIGHT/ BOX = $2900  BOX ONLY = $400
  
  STRAIGHT/ BOX 12 WAY # 1123  STRAIGHT/ BOX = $2700  BOX ONLY = $200
  
  STRAIGHT/ BOX  24 WAY #1234  STRAIGHT/ BOX = $2600  BOX ONLY = $100
