If you select one pair and two different digits (e.g., 1223), the system will generate 12 combinations.

Example:

Playing PCSO 4D Lotto

Let's say you want to play the Wednesday 9PM draw of PCSO 4D Lotto. Here's how you might proceed:

1. Number Selection: You choose the numbers 2, 5, 8, and 3.
2. Bet Amount: You decide to place a ₱20 bet.
3. Play Type: You opt for a standard play (not Rambolito).
4. Ticket Details: Your ticket would show:
   1. Numbers: 2-5-8-3
   2. Draw: Wednesday 9PM
   3. Bet Amount: ₱20
   4. Play Type: Standard
5. Potential Winnings: If the Wednesday 9PM draw results are exactly 2-5-8-3 in that order, you would win: ₱10,000 x 2 = ₱20,000 (because you bet ₱20, which is 2 x ₱10)

Rambolito Example: If instead you had chosen Rambolito with the same numbers (2, 5, 8, 3), your ticket would cover all 24 possible combinations of these four digits. In this case, if any of these combinations match the drawn numbers in exact order, you would win ₱416.67 x 2 = ₱833.34 for your ₱20 bet.

Remember, these examples assume a ₱20 bet. Your actual bet amount may vary, and winnings would be adjusted proportionally.

The cost of a single play for 4D Lotto is PHP 10.
