The Arizona Lottery's newest game has its first drawing this evening.
Cash 4 is traditional lotto-style game, with four numbers drawn from a pool of 26 numbers. Players win prizes by matching 2, 3, or all 4 of the numbers drawn on their game ticket.
Tickets for the new game can be purchased between 4 a.m. and 9:30 p.m. every day. Sales resume for the next drawing from 9:35 p.m. until midnight.
Cash 4 drawings are held every Monday through Saturday evening at approximately 10:25 p.m.
Like all lottery games in Arizona, the winning numbers for each Cash 4 drawing will be displayed on Lottery Post's Arizona Lottery Results page (www.lotterypost.com/results/az) soon after the drawing.
The top prize for matching all four numbers on any one ticket is $10,000. Players can also win $25 for matching three numbers or $2 for matching two numbers.
Players can either have the lottery terminal select the ticket numbers (a "Quick Pick"), or they can mark four numbers from 1 to 26 on their play slip.
Up to 12 consecutive drawing dates can be purchased on the same ticket by marking the Number of Draws box on the play slip.
The overall odds of winning a cash prize are approximately 1 in 10.1.
I wished we had a game like that here.
New game is always exciting. Going to let it build up about a month worth of draws before looking at the behaviors & patterns.
Just tried to play at Circle K, and no play slips available! The clerk blamed it on the lotto rep. He did offer to input the plays manually. I'll just wait
i give this game my blessing...doesn't seem so bad compared to a traditional pick 4 ...lets calculate some odds here: matching any 4 out of 26 is 1:14,950..pays $10K..<<good...(pick 4 is 1:10000 and pays $5k)..what i also like is the possibilty of winning money with 3 and 2 balls since this is a lotto style....better than having a pick 4 i would say even tho its not that EASY to win as it first appears
I won on the very first night it was drawn ! (3) Numbers ($25.00) I LOVE THIS GAME ! ...............so far
Tonight 03/31/2009 I played two tickets

Let's see what happens
The new game is $2 a play
That sucks!!!
I read the article, but it didn't mention how much it cost. I think it said $2 for a 2-ball match. But please correct me if I'm wrong, bc I'm not sure how much it does cost.
But even at $1 a play, $2 seems a bit low for 2 balls. This is only acceptable if the game is i dunno, 50cents or so. Just seems fair. But lotteries like to stick to the Almight Dollar, when priciing their games lol. Well most of them anyway. LOL. i guess its a hassle any other way.. HMM .... LOL.
The flyer i picked up from the store says "Drawings are held every Mon-Sat, that's six chances to win every week. And with a ticket price of $2 this is definitely your best chance at winning $10,000"
One more thing! The flyer also says in bold letters "No Sharing, No Kidding" and another spot says "You automatically win $10,000 and it's all yours!
"But the website says "*If there are more than 100 topprize winners in a single drawing, each will receive an equal share of$1,000,000."
WHAT IS THIS?!? I know the chances of over 100 winners might be rare, but in the event it does happen. It won't be all yours and you will be sharing. I went through another situation with AZ lotto a couple of years back were the website said one thing (Ball Set #'s next to each draw), but the draws were RNG's. They never did reply to my emails, but they did finally change the site.
