To be more precise, they are held on each day of the week, at 1:55 PM and 7:57 PM Eastern Time. The numbers are drawn using the Computer Random Number Generator. In case you were curious, the first ever draw was held on March 25, 1985, or 34 years, 5 months and 27 days ago.

The lottery currently offers six prize categories. The amount of the top prize is fixed, which means that DC Lottery Four is not the one to bring you a record-high jackpot. For now, it accounts for $5,000 (with $1 wager). Luckily, the fact that the jackpot is quite modest is compensated by indeed high winning odds! As shown by official estimates, the odds of winning the top prize are 1 in 10,000. In particular, you will have to correctly guess all the four DC Lottery 4 numbers. The basic thing is to guess them in the exact order. For more information, please look at the table below:
Play type | Prize Amount | Odds | Odds, % |
Straight | $5,000 | 1 : 10,000 | 0,01 |
Box (24-way) | $200 | 1 : 417 | 0,24 |
Straight + Box (24-way) - Straight match | $2,600 | 1 : 10,000 | 0,01 |
Straight + Box (24-way) - Box match | $100 | 1 : 417 | 0,24 |
Front 3 | $500 | 1 : 1,000 | 0,1 |
Back 3 | $500 | 1 : 1,000 | 0,1 |
The overall winning chances, in turn, are 1 in 9.
The minimum cost of playing is $0.50, but players can also choose $1 wager. The lottery does not offer any opportunities to multiply prizes. No add-on games are provided, either.
The lottery’s most often drawn numbers are 6, 4, 5 (Midday) and 9, 6, 3 (Evening). The cold, or the least frequent numbers are 0, 9, 3 (Midday) and 4, 5, 1 (Evening).

Besides, amounts under $600 can be received at lottery retailers. Unfortunately, DC Lottery Four winnings are subject to taxation: for winnings over $5,000, these are 25% federal tax and 8.95% district income tax. One more thing to take into account is that all the prizes are to be claimed within 180 days from the day of the draw or otherwise the winning ticket expires, regardless of DC Lottery 4 results.
