Carolina Pick 4
Since February 27, 2011, Carolina Pick 4 is drawn twice daily (prior to that date, it was drawn once nightly). Otherwise, it is similar to Carolina Pick 3, save for having four numbers instead of three. Players can wager either $0.50 or $1.00, and can choose to bet that the balls drawn will (a) be in the exact order printed on their ticket ("Exact"), or (b) in any permutation of the number printed on their ticket ("Any"). Other options include "50/50", which is a $1.00 wager consisting of a combination of a $0.50 "Exact" wager with a $0.50 "Any" wager (thus not increasing the player's chances of winning versus a standard "Any" wager, but rather increasing the payout received if the order on their ticket matches the order the balls are drawn). The fourth and final way to play is "Combo", which gives the player a $1.00 "Exact" wager for every permutation of the four-digit number they choose to play (thus potentially costing up to $24.00 for a single ticket). The maximum possible payout for a single ticket for a single draw is $5,000 (wager must be $1, order must be bet "Exact" or "Combo", and balls drawn must match number and order played; odds of such a win are 1:10,000).

Famous quotes containing the words carolina and/or pick:
“Poetry presents indivisible wholes of human consciousness, modified and ordered by the stringent requirements of form. Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”
—Richard Harter Fogle, U.S. critic, educator. The Imagery of Keats and Shelley, ch. 1, University of North Carolina Press (1949)
“Industriousness and conscientiousness are often at odds, because industriousness wants to pick the still sour fruit from the tree, while conscientiousness lets it hang there too long, until it falls and bruises.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
