What each board part means
Provider
The operator whose result you are reading, such as Magnum 4D or Singapore Pools.
Draw date
The date for this board. Match it against the date printed on your ticket.
Draw number
Sequential identifier of the draw within the year, such as 1234/26. Match it against the draw number printed on your ticket.
Top 3
First, second, and third prize. Big and Small tickets can both cover these rows.
Special or Starter
Ten secondary prize numbers. Big covers this row, Small does not.
Consolation
Ten lower-tier prize numbers. Big covers this row, Small does not.
Check these against your ticket
Five spots to compare before assuming your ticket is a winner.
Provider
Provider name on the ticket and on the board must be identical. A Magnum ticket never wins on a Toto board.
Draw date
Draw date prints on both. They must match exactly, not just the weekday.
Draw number
Draw number lines up. Useful when the same 4-digit number wins on more than one date.
Number
Your 4-digit number. Leading zeroes are part of the number — 0123 is not 1230.
Bet type
Bet type marking — Big or Small, Straight, Box, or iBox — controls which prize rows you can claim from.
Ticket check examples
1234
Straight Small
Covered match. 1234 is 1st Prize, and Small covers Top 3.
3456
Straight Big
Covered match. 3456 is under Special, and Big covers Special.
3456
Straight Small
Matched but not covered. Small only covers Top 3.
4321
Box Big
Check permutations first. 1234 is a permutation, then Big coverage applies.
Before claiming
Match all four digits, the provider, and the draw date. Then apply the ticket type: Straight checks exact order, Box checks permitted permutations, Big covers all 23 result rows, and Small covers Top 3 only.
