New Mexico Pick 4 Odds and Prizes

Pick 4 Plus offers a range of exciting prizes, going up to $5,000 for a Straight play if you match all four numbers in exact order.

There's a fixed payout amount for each play type, so the big decision you have to make is whether you want to go for the largest prize at the slimmest odds. The other option is to give yourself a better chance of winning and accept that the reward would be a bit lower. For a reminder of the differences between the play types, go to the Ways To Play page.

See the following table for all the possible payouts that are available in Pick 4, along with the probability of winning for each one.
