Every licensed Malaysian 4D operator pays out against the same broad "per RM1" prize table, split across two bet types — Big and Small. This page breaks down exactly how much a RM1 stake pays at each prize tier, walks through a real payout example, and covers the basics of permutation (iBox) betting, tax rules, and the legal age to play.
For every RM1 staked on a straight (non-permutation) number, the standard payout table looks like this:
| Prize | Numbers | Big Bet | Small Bet |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st Prize | 1 | RM 2,500 | RM 3,500 |
| 2nd Prize | 1 | RM 1,000 | RM 2,000 |
| 3rd Prize | 1 | RM 500 | RM 1,000 |
| Special | 10 | RM 200 each | — |
| Consolation | 10 | RM 60 each | — |
Payouts scale linearly with your stake — a RM5 bet pays five times the RM1 figures above, a RM10 bet pays ten times, and so on.
A Big bet wins if your number appears anywhere among all 23 winning numbers drawn that evening — the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prize, plus the ten Special and ten Consolation numbers. That wide winning window is why the payout per tier is lower than Small: you're covered by 23 chances instead of 3.
A Small bet only pays out if your number lands in the top three prizes — 1st, 2nd or 3rd. Special and Consolation matches pay nothing on a Small bet, even if the digits are identical. In exchange for that narrower window, the payout on each of the three tiers is meaningfully higher.
Many players split a single number across both bet types — for example "RM1 Big + RM1 Small" on the same four digits, costing RM2 total. That combination covers the wide 23-number Big window while still qualifying for the higher Small payout if the number hits a top-three prize.
Say you place a RM5 Big bet on the number 1234. That evening's draw comes out with 1234 as the 1st Prize. Since the Big payout for 1st Prize is RM2,500 per RM1, your payout is:
RM2,500 × 5 = RM12,500
The same logic applies at every tier. Here's how a RM5 Big stake pays across all five categories, plus a RM5 Small stake on 1st Prize for contrast:
| Bet | Prize Tier | Per RM1 | RM5 Payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| Big | 1st Prize | RM2,500 | RM12,500 |
| Big | 2nd Prize | RM1,000 | RM5,000 |
| Big | 3rd Prize | RM500 | RM2,500 |
| Big | Special (each) | RM200 | RM1,000 |
| Big | Consolation (each) | RM60 | RM300 |
| Small | 1st Prize | RM3,500 | RM17,500 |
A standard 4D bet requires the exact digit order — 1234, 4321 and 1243 are three completely different numbers. If you'd rather cover every ordering of your four digits without buying each combination separately, you can place a permutation bet, sold under names like iBox, mBox or i-Perm depending on the operator.
One stake covers every ordering, but the payout for a win is divided by however many distinct permutations your digits produce:
| Digit Pattern | Example | Permutations |
|---|---|---|
| 4 different digits | 1234 | 24 |
| One repeated pair | 1123 | 12 |
| Two pairs | 1122 | 6 |
| Three of a kind | 1112 | 4 |
Permutation bets win far more often since any ordering of your digits counts — but each win pays proportionally less. Exact iBox payout amounts vary by operator, so check the payout card at the counter or the operator's own website before betting.
The RM2,500 / RM1,000 / RM500 Big and RM3,500 / RM2,000 / RM1,000 Small figures above are the long-standing industry baseline shared by Malaysia's classic trio — Magnum 4D, Sports Toto and Da Ma Cai — and closely mirrored by the daily and East Malaysia operators tracked on this site, including GD Lotto (Grand Dragon Lotto), 9 Lotto, Lucky Hari Hari and Perdana.
That said, exact figures can differ slightly between platforms. Some online 4D platforms and newer operators publish a marginally higher payout card on the top three tiers — for example, figures closer to RM2,875 / RM1,150 / RM575 (Big) and RM4,025 / RM2,300 / RM1,150 (Small) are advertised by at least one well-known regional platform. This page reflects the widely used classic-trio baseline rather than a single official source for every operator, so always check the specific payout table posted where you're betting — for example on the Magnum 4D or 9 Lotto result pages — before placing a stake.
Winnings Are Tax-Free — But You Must Be 21+. Lottery prizes are tax-free for individual players in Malaysia, so winners keep the full advertised amount with nothing withheld. The legal minimum age to play any licensed 4D game is 21, under the Betting Act 1953. Always claim winnings in person at the outlet where you bought the ticket, using the original physical slip — and check an older ticket against the past results archive before it expires.
