Hello and good day everyone. I was wondering if anyone has information regarding the longest a pick 4 number has ever went without hitting boxed for any state or country. Any input thoughts or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The reason for my curiosity is that currently in New York "1118" has not hit boxed in total of 29 years , 2 months, and 10 days last hitting boxed on Thursday December 14th, 1989!

The first time I found out the number was overdue was 10 years ago. It was in 2009 and at that time the number was out boxed 19 years. 10 years have passed since I have been playing the number boxed, and on some occasions going heavy playing it .50 cents boxed hundreds of times for one drawing and hoping the long overdue number will hit.

I am currently astonished , shocked, and confused, and scared at the same time. I am shocked that a number hasn't hit boxed in almost 30 years. I can understand if it was straight , but we're talking about a Pick 4 boxed combo that has not hit in any of it's possible order in over 29 years. With 720 boxed win - 4 combos to choose from, (which includes the 10 Quads which are straight only of course), the number should have came back and hit numerous times already.

I am scared that if I stop playing it for a while it will eventually hit and I will miss a major opportunity. If it does come back and hit, I may not see that number hit for a very long time, and knowing it's possible to go that long without hitting and I don't want to miss it when it finally does return.(If it does ever eventually hit)

The fact that this is a 4 - way boxed combination (Triple Digit Number), a .50 cents boxed hit will win $600.00 tax free. Playing the number .50 cents boxed 200 times on separate tickets would cost only $100.00 to play but that would win $120,000.00 in Tax free cash if the number were to be drawn. There has been a few days where I played it 800 times .50 cents boxed on separate tickets spending $400.00 on the drawing to try to win a $480,000.00 tax free payday. I didn't mind spending the $400 since I've only played with money I've won, so a gamble is a gamble.

I'm still scared that If I stop playing it might hit and I will be highly disappointed. For this reason I can't stop playing it. Tonight I've played it .50 box times on separate tickets a total of Fifty times, which cost me only $25 to play. If it hits im $30,000.00 richer.

I need to figure out if this has ever happened in any other state where a number did not hit boxed in this long so any help is greatly appreciated. What's your states record for a a Pick - 4 combo Out the longest Boxed. Thanks everyone!

Hope you knock it out the park tonight!

I'm also drawn to those long overdue numbers.

But I never seem to be able to snare one as it always eventually falls on the very draw that I failed to play the number or didn't have any tickets period.

Almost 30 years since the 1118 combo last dropped in NY is indeed astonishing!

It's a slow hitter in GA as well, only hit a total of 3 times between 2003 and 2012, each time on the midday draw.

I don't usually play that one (unless indicated by due digits by position).

Was not even playing Cash 4 in 2003.

Didn't pick up that particular vice until 2004, Lol

Good luck!

Yeah I just seen it. One digit down on the 2, and one up on the 0 , and I would of caught it. It's the same exact sum 11 that came out too. Maybe it's an indicator it will drop soon. We'll im going for it tomorrow Midday, 8111 . 50 cents boxed , 50 times again.

Monday midday could be the day!

Hopefully it won't drag on another 20 years before it hits.

I usually get on a C4 number in GA after it hasn't hit for 10-12 years, especially a dual double or a triple.

Currently stuck on the 3399 combo, even though it's only been MIA around 9 years.

I don't think we have anything comparable to your scenario, other than some of the remaining never hit quads.

You could use the Pick 4 Combinations Analysis to do it. You would just need the time to do each state individually.

List Pick 3 singles by low sums, high sums. Separate each sum row by consecutive pair and non consecutive pair combos. These 3 pair groups. 14 17 47, 25 28 58, 36 39 69 are in 63 combos. 54 combos do not have them. Which sums do the 3 pair groups appear and not appear? Look at root sum groups 147, 258, 369. Play accordingly.

Yeah I am still stunned it's out boxed almost 30 years. I thought last year in 2018 would be the year for it for sure since the first day of 2018 was 1/1/18. I was wrong. There's telling when it will it. Only thing I can do it to continue to play it and hope for a big pay day.

I only do .50 cents boxed multiple times on different tickets. Any other way is not worth it. It can only hit straight as 1118, 8111, 1811, or 1181. $5 straight on each order would cost $20 total, and pays out $25,000 for a straight hit, plus I will get taxed and they are guaranteed to take out more than $100 from my winnings leaving me with less than $24,000.

However .50 cents boxed 40 times on separate tickets would cost the same $20, and I would win $24,000 Tax free as long as I cash in at different stores.

Good luck with 1693. I myself will play it boxed. That last hit boxed 2 years ago 2/17/2017, and that was for the Midday. It has not hit evening since 2/07/15 , so it's out longer for the evening being out over 4 years. I'd play it safe and play both draws but both more heavy on the evening side. If it's hit i'll remember you!

You actually can't cash in a ticket at any store if the prize is over $600 on one ticket. You'll have to fill in a claim form and mail it in, or you can go to one of the lottery customer service centers in the state to claim your winnings which will be taxed.

What I am saying is that multiple .50 cents boxed hits using separate tickets on this number is the only way to avoid paying any taxes from your winnings.

Oh I see. It just all depends on if the clerk has the money available in the register. If they don't have $1,800, you'll have no choice but to cash in one ticket at the store (unless they have $1,200.00 then you can cash in two of them), and then and take the other ticket(s) to a different store.

So Oregon gets 1811 & this number has also hit in Connecticut earlier this year as 8111, so this could be a good traveling # this year. Georgia almost got it today with 8110 . I need it to hit in New York. After 29 and years and 3 months without a single boxed hit, I really am anticipating at least one hit in New York this year.
