5-5-5-5 Hits In Pick 4 Drawing, With Multiple Top-Prize Winners

We’re gearing up to pay lots of prizes after today’s Pick 4 midday drawing!

The winning numbers in the drawing were 5-5-5-5, and because duplicate combinations are always popular in the game, there were a lot of big winners.

If you’re familiar with the Pick 3 and Pick 4 games, you know that players in them like to play combinations of the same numbers such as 7-7-7-7, 2-2-2, or, as with today’s results, 5-5-5-5. The stars aligned and duplicates hit today!

The same thing has happened a handful of times through the years, including with a 1-1-1-1 combination in 2018.

Six tickets each won $6,000 in today’s drawing, the top prize possible with a $1 play in Pick 4. All of the plays were for a straight bet, meaning that they would win if they matched all numbers in the EXACT ORDER drawn. Plays in Pick 4 start at 50 cents and go up to $5.

The stores where the $6,000-winning tickets were purchased are:

• Casey’s, 1201 First Ave. SE in Cedar Rapids
• Hy-Vee, 901 S. Fourth St. in Clinton
• Express Lane Gas & Food, 3622 N. Brady St. in Davenport
• Hy-Vee, 3221 SE 14th St. in Des Moines
• Kwik Star, 102 David St. in Maquoketa
• Casey’s, 602 S. Highland St. in Williamsburg

Players have up to 90 days from the date of the drawing to claim Pick 4 prizes in Iowa.

Hi, Zap. Through a sharing agreement, the Iowa Lottery utilizes the Hoosier Lottery's drawing results for our Pick 3 and Pick 4 games. However, you correctly note that the Iowa Lottery's Pick 3 and Pick 4 games do not include a Super Ball number, whereas the Hoosier Lottery's games do. This is because Iowa's games have their own rules, game play and odds. And, the Iowa Lottery and Hoosier Lottery are separate entities. The only thing they have in common is the sharing of numbers (the first three for Pick 3, and the first four for Pick 4) for these particular games.

Why can't iowa find a pick 4 game and pick 3 that plays like iowa ticket game. You quit using illinois because the game was only being aged half the way ours was and players complained. So iowa is now using Indiana game for ours and the same thing. Indianas game is not played like ours and again another state that uses 5 balls in their pick 4 games in which is screwing the iowa players every game. There are in fact over 15 states that play these games using only 4 balls why can't iowa use a state game that is played the way our ticket game is played or start using the same 5 balls Indiana is using and change our play tickets to match the game you are using its one way or the other but to the players it's cheating on the lottery side because everyday the game is played that extra ball plays a factor in what your players will play for their numbers for the next draw. Today should have been 1650 instead Indiana gives us 5650 extra ball 1= bullcrap
