Magnum 4D was Malaysia's first licensed 4D lottery, launched in 1969. Unlike pick-N-from-pool lotteries, you choose any 4-digit number from 0000 to 9999. Each draw produces 23 winning numbers across multiple tiers.
How to Play
Pick any 4-digit number from 0000 to 9999. Minimum bet: RM 1.
Bet Types
| Bet | Description |
|---|---|
| Big | Covers all 23 winning numbers; pays for any match |
| Small | Covers only 1st/2nd/3rd; higher per-RM payout |
| 4A | Exact match against top 3 + one specific position |
| 3A / 2A / ABC | Partial-position matches |
| Roll | One digit as wildcard, expands to 10 entries |
Winning Combinations
Each draw produces 23 winning numbers:
- 1 × 1st Prize
- 1 × 2nd Prize
- 1 × 3rd Prize
- 10 × Special Prizes
- 10 × Consolation Prizes
Your number equals any of these → payout per the corresponding tier.

Magnum 4D vs Sports Toto 4D?
Both legal:
- Magnum 4D: oldest brand, largest network
- Sports Toto 4D: slightly higher payouts on small bets
- Da Ma Cai 1+3D: different number-mechanics variant
All three operate independently with separate draws — you can play all of them.
Compared to HK Mark Six?
Fundamentally different:
- Mark Six: pick 6 from 49 + special (lotto-style)
- 4D: pick a 4-digit number (number-bet style)
- 4D wins more frequently but with much smaller amounts than Mark Six's snowball jackpot
