Excuse me if I'm stating what is generally well known in Pick4 as it's all new to me but I thought it rather interesting that there are more 4-Way than 6-Way although the payouts are higher for the 4-Way.A couple of examples: Draws 24 Way 12 Way 6 Way 4 Way New York 1800 893 794 51 63Conneticut 1804 924 757 59 66Any comments?Colin
