4-Digits

The recently launched Daily Derby 4D Blue and Green and 5D jackpots of WTL-M is also growing popular now.

A similar 4-D game with its prize structure fully revealed can be found in Taiwan and Cambodia.

The 4-D game is believed to have originated in Kedah in 1951, based on evidence during a gambling trial in a Singapore court in 1956.

[citation needed] A schoolboy decided to raffle his bicycle for 100 $1 tickets, each bearing two digits.

This led to the 2-D lottery, which in turn gave rise to 3-D and later, 4-D, betting games which were wildly popular in Singapore and Malaysia from the 1950s.

Singapore Pools launched computerised betting for 4-D on 31 May 1986, and it got off to an auspicious start when the winning number for the first prize in the inaugural draw turned out to be 8838.

The number "8" sounds like fā (Chinese: 发) or "prosper" in Mandarin and is traditionally a favourite among punters.

The selected draw balls, numbered 0 to 9, are weighed to ensure that their individual weights are within an acceptable margin of error.

The selected machines, secured under lock and numbered seal in a storage room, is transferred to the draw hall, along with the balls.

A member of the audience is then invited to press the start switch on the control panel, launching the draw.

The drawing process, starting from the consolation prizes, is repeated until all 23 sets of winning numbers are drawn.

Magnum 4D offers the classic 4D game – the player picks a 4 digit number and chooses the amount he wants to bet.

Dà Mǎ Cǎi (大马彩; literally "Pan-Malaysia Lottery" in Mandarin) has a 3D game as well as 4D (which they call 1+3D).

In December 2016 Dà Mǎ Cǎi provide mobile betting channel "dmcGO" apps (IOS and Android) Sports Toto, in addition to the basic 4D played the same way as Magnum and Dà Mǎ Cǎi, runs 5D and 6D games as well.

Sports Toto also offers three lottery games, similar to those seen in Western countries.
