Magnum, Sports Toto and Da Ma Cai draw on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, plus the occasional gazetted special Tuesday. Numbers start coming in from about 7:00 PM and the full board is usually complete by 8:00 PM. Grand Dragon draws every night.
Reading the board
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize — one number each, the biggest payouts.
- Special — ten numbers. Magnum and Toto show thirteen numbered slots with three gaps: the three numbers drawn into those slots were promoted to 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
- Consolation — ten numbers, the smallest prize.
Operators reveal Special and Consolation first and the top three last, so an empty 1st-prize box at 7:15 PM just means the draw is still running.
Five checks before you celebrate
- Right operator. A Magnum ticket only wins on Magnum's board — the same number on Toto's board pays nothing.
- Right draw date. The ticket is for one specific draw, printed on it.
- Big or Small. A Big bet wins on all five categories; a Small bet only on the top three. A Small ticket whose number came up in Special or Consolation has not won.
- Straight or box. A straight bet needs the exact order. A box or iBox bet wins on any arrangement of your digits, at a smaller payout per arrangement.
- Official source. Confirm against the operator's own published results before you claim — every results site, this one included, is for reference.
Faster than reading the board: type your number into the checker on the results page — it checks every operator at once, straight and box — or scan the ticket to check every bet on it against the right draw.
If you won
Keep the ticket dry and intact — it is the prize. Small prizes are paid at any outlet of that operator; larger ones at its regional office. The full rules and deadlines are in how to claim a 4D prize.
