In this Pick 4 example, the player has played the numbers

1-2-3-4 with the Straight play type PLUS the addition of Wild Ball. The winning numbers drawn for this drawing were 1-2-3-4, so the player won a base prize of $6,000!

When we check to see if any winning combinations have been created by the inclusion of the drawn Wild Ball (3), we see that a Straight Wild Ball prize of 1-2-3-4 has been created when the (3) is replaced. The player wins a $1,500 Straight Wild Ball prize in addition to the $6,000 base prize!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So, this play would have to be $1.00 straight, and the player would win $7,500 taxable!

The throw off is:  you would win more than one time with two plays winning.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Understand:  It will cost, a total of $2.00 to play the Wild Ball with your choice of numbers.

I understand, you paying more to win.

If you chose to play , 1234 straight, with no Wild Ball, on seperate tickets, you would have won $12,000 taxable income.

So, $2.00 straight on seperate tickets, wins $12,000 vs.  $2.00 straight with the Wild Ball and win  $7,500.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

50 cent straight = $3,000

$1.00 straight= $6,000

So, for the 50 cent straight, you getting half of the $3,000.

"Game recognize Game"! 

Correct me if I am wrong.

Where did the 5 come in at?

No wonder folks are confused, it looks like this example is wrong.?
