Pick 4 Players in Illinois Win $6.81 Million with Quad 4

Wednesday September 3rd 2025

Illinois Pick 4 players recently won $6.81 million by picking the same number 4 times—exciting news for lottery fans with a favorite number!

Pick 4 may not offer multi-million dollar prizes like Powerball or MegaMillions, but this result shows the potential of it. When lots of players select quads and a quad is drawn, there can be countless winners and enormous payouts.

The Magic Pick 4 Number in Illinois is 4

With odds of 1 in 10,000, quad wins are pretty uncommon. But August 6th 2025’s Pick 4 evening draw was 4-4-4-4 in the Illinois lottery, giving 2,725 Midwest Pick 4 players cause for celebration. The only downside is that the Fireball was 2. Had it been another 4, these winners would have been even more elated.

This is not the first time it’s happened. June 3rd 2025 brought lucky Virginia players prizes equaling $7.9 million. The 4-4-4-4 quad also won three times in 2024 on January 26, June 25, and November 16.

Other Pick 4 Quad Winners

Don’t let that sway you towards 4s forever though. New York Win 4 players selected 3-3-3-3 in July 2025 and enjoyed a huge payout. With 3,632 tickets bought chancing this combination, there was over $9 million in prizes given out for the single drawing.

In addition, North Carolina residents won $12.2 million in prizes in January 2025 with the winning combination of 8-8-8-8. This proves the potential of your favorite numbers in Pick 4 drawings. Perhaps 7 will be next.
