Win 4 Odds and Prizes
Win 4 gives you the chance to win up to 5,000 times your wager amount just by matching four numbers between 0 and 9. It is a bit different to some other games, though, as there are so many different ways to play that impact your chances of winning and the payout you are playing for. This page tells you everything you need to know about how to win for each type of wager.

Claiming Prizes
Win 4 prizes are paid out as single lump sums (there’s no annuity option), and are not taxed as the maximum payout of $5,000 falls exactly below the threshold where federal and state withholdings kick in.
If you win a prize up to and including $600, you can claim the money from any New York Lottery retailer. Prizes of a larger value must be claimed at one of the New York Lottery’s Customer Service Centers.
