The computer terminal will help you spread your bet. The minimum amount of bet for a Lucky Pick is Rm 1 just like in a Straight Bet. On your ticket, the numbers selected through Lucky Pick are labeled LP.

Below is a categorization of the different possible permutations.

  • If all the 4 digits of your number are different, for instance 2981, the maximum number of permutations is 24 and the minimum bet is Rm 24.

  • Where two pairs of your 4-digit number are the same such as 9911, the possible number of permutations is 6 giving you a minimum bet of Rm 6.
  • If three of your 4 digits are similar such as 7666, you get 4 permutations and the minimum bet is Rm 4.

For instance, if you roll the front digit in R965, you will end up with 0965, 1965, 2965, 3965, 4965, 5965, 6965, 7965, 8965, 9965.

Da Ma Cai 1+3D Prize Breakdown

Da Ma Cai draws are conducted 3 times in a week on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays starting 7 p.m. Occasionally, the Ministry of Finance grants Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn. Bhd the authority and approval to conduct special draws. When this happens, the draws are slotted for Tuesdays starting 7 p.m.

The company determines where the draws are to be conducted, but the following locations have been used from time to time.

  • Penang Turf Club in Pulao Penang
  • Selangor Turf Club in Selangor
  • Perak Turf Club
  • Off Course Centers

The draws are usually conducted by the officials of the company together with guest officials, public witnesses, and public auditors. The winning numbers are determined through horse races. Before the draw is held, the company designates the particular horse race they will use which is afterward certified by the external auditors and made public. The horse race determines the first, second, and third prizes.

The draws are done using transparent electromechanical drums. The first drum which is also referred to as the horse drum is usually marked H and contains balls that correspond to the number of horses in the race. Each of the balls is marked with numbers starting from 1 to 13. The remaining 6 drums known as number drums are marked 1 to 6 and contains 10 balls starting from 0 to 9. The numbers drawn from the drums constitute the winning numbers of Da Ma Cai 1+3D.

  • A total of 10 6-digit numbers from the number drums give you the consolation winning numbers.
  • The next lot is a total of 13 6-digit numbers, four of which come from 4-number drums and the rest from the horse drum. This gives you three main winning numbers (first, second, and third prize) while the remaining 10 numbers constitute the starter winning numbers.
  • The three main winning numbers are determined solely by the horse race.
