4D is simple to describe and easy to misjudge. This sample guide sticks to the arithmetic.
Counting the possibilities
Four digits, each from 0 to 9, give 10,000 possible numbers.
One ticket, one number
If you pick one exact number, it is one of those 10,000 possibilities for the top prize in a draw, and buying the same number every week does not shorten those odds.
About "lucky" numbers
Lists of frequent or rare numbers describe the past; they cannot forecast the next draw. Use only official operator channels to check results.
