For future reference always remember these facts. There are 5 ways a P4 number can come out:

Straight: Example 1234

4 way box: Example 1112

6 way box: Example 1122

12 way box: Example 1123

24 way box: Example 1234

The more ways it can come out box, the less it pays aka the lowest payout for 50 cents (In most states: $100). The 12 way (IMS: $200), 6 way (IMS: $400) the 4 way (IMS: $600)

ummm, excuse me been playing GA C4 since 1998; very acutely aware of the odds and the payouts. No study is required on my part, LOL! I think maybe you replied to the wrong poster

Only 600 for 50 cents. That's a great return. I think you need to study the lottery and it's payouts before you play.

Well that seems like a complete waste of time. Looks like I'll just be playing straight from now on.

you only get $600 on Cash 4 for $0.50 box play if the number drawn was a triple number (0666 for example). Otherwise, if number drawn was a 24-way number (1234 for example), payout is only $100.

Hey you only win 100 for 50 cents box

I won $100 playing 50 cent box, but why did I win $100 instead of $600?

I thought you win 600 because if you play it straight you win 2500. But they have only have me 100. Where is my other 500? I clearly played box and got all 4 numbers.
