How to Play Singapore 4D: Complete Guide

A complete beginner's guide to Singapore 4D: what it is, the bet types, the draw schedule, the prize structure, and how to buy a ticket.

What is Singapore 4D?

Singapore 4D is a fixed-odds lottery run by Singapore Pools where you pick a four-digit number from 0000 to 9999. Draws are held on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday, plus the monthly Sweep, with results drawn at 6:30 PM Singapore time.

Bet Types: Big, Small, and iBox

A Big bet wins across all 23 prize categories, while a Small bet only pays on the top three prizes but at higher payouts. iBox (permutation) covers every arrangement of your digits for a lower payout, giving you more ways to win.

Prize Structure and Odds

The top prize pays $2,000 per $1 Big bet. Winning the first prize outright is a 1 in 10,000 chance for a specific number. Understanding the full prize table helps you compare the real value of Big versus Small bets.

Tips for Playing 4D

Set a fixed budget, treat 4D as entertainment rather than income, and use historical analysis as one input among many. 4D Insights helps you review hot and cold numbers and position patterns before you pick.
