Da Ma Cai — officially operated by Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn Bhd — is one of Malaysia's three main 4D lottery operators, drawing every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. What sets Da Ma Cai apart from its competitors is the range of game formats it offers beyond the standard 4D bet, including its own 3D game, Super 1+3D, and multiple jackpot products. This guide explains the full Da Ma Cai prize structure so you know exactly what each game pays out.
You can check the latest Da Ma Cai result on MY4DLIVE after every draw, alongside Magnum and Sports Toto results.
Da Ma Cai 1+3D — The Standard 4D Game
The core Da Ma Cai game is called 1+3D. Players select a four-digit number between 0000 and 9999, then choose either a Big (ABC) or Small (A) bet. The minimum stake is RM 1.
- Big (ABC) bet — eligible for all five prize categories: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 10 Starter prizes and 10 Consolation prizes.
- Small (A) bet — eligible for 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize only, with higher payouts to compensate for fewer winning chances.
1+3D Big (ABC) Payouts
| Prize Category | Numbers Drawn | Payout per RM 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Prize | 1 number | RM 2,500 |
| 2nd Prize | 1 number | RM 1,000 |
| 3rd Prize | 1 number | RM 500 |
| Starter Prize | 10 numbers | RM 180 |
| Consolation Prize | 10 numbers | RM 60 |
1+3D Small (A) Payouts
| Prize Category | Numbers Drawn | Payout per RM 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Prize | 1 number | RM 3,500 |
| 2nd Prize | 1 number | RM 2,000 |
| 3rd Prize | 1 number | RM 1,000 |
| Starter / Consolation | — | Not eligible |
Da Ma Cai 1+3D iBox — Permutation Betting
The iBox format lets you cover all permutations of your chosen 4-digit number automatically. Rather than picking a single arrangement, your ticket wins if any arrangement of your digits matches a drawn number. The payout per RM 1 is divided proportionally across the number of permutations.
iBox categories are based on how many unique permutations your number has:
- iBox 24 — four unique digits (e.g. 1234)
- iBox 12 — one pair of repeated digits (e.g. 1123)
- iBox 6 — two pairs of repeated digits (e.g. 1122)
- iBox 4 — three identical digits (e.g. 1112)
For an iBox 24 Big bet at RM 1, the approximate payouts are: 1st Prize RM 105, 2nd Prize RM 42, 3rd Prize RM 21. For iBox 24 Small: 1st Prize RM 146, 2nd Prize RM 84, 3rd Prize RM 42. The trade-off is broader coverage at a lower per-win payout.
Da Ma Cai 3D Game
Da Ma Cai also offers a standalone 3D game where players pick a three-digit number (000–999). The 3D game has its own prize structure separate from 1+3D and is available in Big (ABC) and Small (A) formats.
3D Payouts
| Prize Category | Bet Type | Payout per RM 1 |
|---|---|---|
| 1st Prize | Big (ABC) | RM 250 |
| 2nd Prize | Big (ABC) | RM 210 |
| 3rd Prize | Big (ABC) | RM 150 |
| 1st Prize | Small (A) | RM 660 |
Super 1+3D
Super 1+3D is Da Ma Cai's enhanced single-pool game format with seven prize categories. Unlike the standard 1+3D game, Super 1+3D pools all stake amounts together and distributes prizes across a broader set of matching conditions. The top payout for a full 1st/2nd/3rd match is RM 6,500 per RM 1, with Starter/Consolation category matches paying RM 650. Partial prize tiers (TP3 and ALL categories) pay RM 2,168 and RM 1,300 respectively depending on how your number matches the draw.
Super 1+3D vs Standard 1+3D: Super 1+3D offers higher top prizes (RM 6,500 vs RM 3,500 for Small 1st prize) but operates as a single prize pool — meaning the payout is divided among all winners in each category rather than being a fixed per-RM-1 rate. During high-participation draws, individual payouts may be lower than the maximum.
Da Ma Cai Jackpot Games
Players select two 4-digit numbers. The minimum stake is RM 2. To win Jackpot 1, both numbers must match drawn results in the required combination. Jackpot 1 starts at a guaranteed minimum of RM 2,000,000 and rolls over until won.
Jackpot 2 has a guaranteed minimum of RM 100,000 and is won with a partial match. Group prizes for smaller combinations range from RM 28 to RM 168.
The DMC Jackpot combines a 1+3D number selection with a 3D number. Players pick one 4-digit number and one 3-digit number for a single entry at minimum RM 2. Jackpot 1 requires all selected digits to match the corresponding drawn numbers, with a guaranteed minimum prize of RM 1,800,000.
Exclusively based on the 3D game, this jackpot requires players to select three separate 3-digit numbers. All three must match drawn results for Jackpot 1, which carries a guaranteed minimum of RM 600,000. A lower-tier Jackpot 2 is available for partial matches.
