April 15, 2013 -- CT Lottery “Play4 Night” players are celebrating BIG once again, this time for the drawing of another very popular number combination: 1 – 2 – 3 – 4.

On Saturday, April 13, the Play4 Night number drawn was 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 with a payout of more than $5.4 million in prizes—the fourth largest payout in the game’s history.  Since the Play4 Night game began October 1980, 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 has been drawn a total of four times.  The last time it was drawn was on May 16, 2009, that time with a payout of $3.8 million.

The odds of making a Straight (all 4 digits in exact order) match, such as 1 – 2 – 3 – 4, are 1 in 10,000, the same odds that any given number will be randomly drawn in the Play4 game.

With a combined total of 2,951 winning tickets statewide, prize payouts, which are based on the amount wagered, ranged from $104 (for a $.50 wager) up to an amazing $25,000 (for a $5.00 wager) a ticket.

Of the winning tickets sold, 1,511 were played as a “Box” wager.  Box ticket prizes, each worth $104, can be redeemed at any CT Lottery retailer location.  The remaining 1,440 tickets can only be claimed at High-Tier Claim Centers or Lottery Headquarters.  Players with winning tickets have 180-days from the date of draw to collect their winnings.
