The players won a total of $7.9 million after wagering $438,939, according to the lottery, which said it paid out 18 times more than it took in for the drawing.
“Pick 4 players break the bank,” the lottery said when announcing the results.
“Quadruple numbers tend to be very popular in the Pick 4 game and are some of the most heavily wagered,” lottery officials said.
The odds of winning are 1 in 10,000, the lottery said.
If a player wages $1 and matches all four numbers, they win $5,000, according to lottery officials.
