In the case of the poster, what should he have done if had taken into consideration a dead heat possibility . What kind of a pick 4 ticket should he have placed to ensure a higher payout. Please advise.

Ensure a higher payout? Kinda figured this was what it was all about. The concept of knowing rules and agreeing to abide by them when you place a bet seems to be quite beyond you. Rules just aren't fair...

The answer to your question is to be able to accurately foresee the future. Let us all know when you figure that out.

I'm reasonably certain the P4 to Golden Ticket was paying 3700 for a dollar not 50 cents. Thus, anyone who had a 50 cent ticket lost about 1600 with the dead heat.

1-$10656
2-$7086
3-$7485
4-$3798.50
5-$1049.50
6-$530
7-$1508
8-$887
9-$1020.50
10-$671.50
11-$8309
