Toto 4D Jackpot is a combination lottery game by Sports Toto Malaysia which marries the excitement of classic 4D draws with the thrill of progressive jackpots.

How To Get Started

Understanding the mechanics is easy. Whether you prefer the straightforward standard entry or want to increase your odds with a system entry, here’s how to get started.

Step 1: Choose Your Numbers

Pick two different 4-digit numbers from 0000 to 9999.

Example: 1845 and 7290

Step 2: Decide on Entry Type

Theres 2 types of entries when it comes to this:

Standard

One bet = two 4-digit numbers (RM2)

How to Win

There are multiple ways to win in Toto 4D Malaysia. You can aim for either of the two jackpots, or match just one Toto 4D lucky number to still walk away with a standard 4D prize.

Prize Categories

The 4D draw produces 23 winning numbers:

Top 3 Prizes (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
10 Special Prizes
10 Consolation Prizes

Jackpot 1 (J1)

Both selected numbers match any 2 of the Top 3 winning numbers, in any order.

Jackpot 2 (J2)

One number matches a Top 3 prize, and the other matches a Special Prize.

Other Wins

If one of your numbers matches any Top 3, Special, or Consolation prize, you’ll win a fixed payout as per standard 4D rules.

How Is the Prize Pool Calculated?

When you place a bet, a portion of your ticket contributes to the growing prize pool. Here’s how it’s distributed.

Breakdown of Your Ticket

From RM2 Ticket Goes To
RM1.10 Jackpot prize pool
RM0.90 Tax, admin, and ops

Example Scenario

If RM10 million is collected in ticket sales:

Total Prize Pool (55%) = RM5.5 million
Jackpot 1 and Jackpot 2 share this pool
If no one wins, the amounts roll over to the next draw

Jackpot Cascade Rule

This rule keeps the game exciting when jackpots reach sky-high amounts. If Jackpot 1 grows too large and isn’t won, the extra money helps boost Jackpot 2. And what triggers a cascade?

If Jackpot 1 exceeds RM30 million and there’s no winner, the extra amount above RM20 million is cascaded into Jackpot 2.

Jackpot 1 Total Cascade Effect
≤ RM20 million No cascade
> RM30 million Excess above RM20M → J2
