How to search for the past history of a winning Pennsylvania Lottery Big 4 number

There are three ways that you can use this utility to search for past winning performance of a Pennsylvania Lottery Big 4 number:

1. Direct search Just enter the four digits of a Big 4 number and all past draws of that number in exact order will be listed in the top panel and all past draws of the number in any order (as a box or combo) will be listed in the bottom panel.
2. Wild Card Search In this case you can include one or more question marks(?) and/or asterisks(*) at any position of the four digits as wild cards. If you use one wild card, the search will proceed for all winning Big 4 numbers that contain the three digits in their exact positions. For example, searching for "?083" or "*083" will list all the past Pennsylvania Big 4 numbers whose last three digits are "083".
   
   If you enter two or more identical wild cards, the search will be performed by replacing the wild card positions by identical digits. For instance, searching for "??00" or "**00" will list all winning numbers that end with "00" and whose two first digits are identical (such as 1100, 2200, etc.). On the other hand, if you use the two wild cards, each will be replaced by all possible digits. For instance, searching for "*?00" or "?*00" will list ALL winning numbers that end with "00"; that is, the first two digits should not necessarily be identical.
   
   Other examples:
   "?*?*" : lists all winning numbers with alternate identical numbers such as 1212, 8080.
   "?***" : lists all winning numbers with the last three identical last digits.
   "?*13" : lists all winning numbers with 13 as back pair.
   
   Note that only exact order results are listed with wild card search and the results are arranged in chronological order.
3. Pair and triad Search This new addition allows you to search for a pair or triad of Big 4 digits in any order and at any postion. Here, you can enter one or two hyphens and three or two digits to list the occurence of the three or two digits. For example, "-102" will list all the winning numbers which contain "0", "1" and "2". They may be 1902, 2001, 0721, and so on. Note that you can place the hyphen(s) anywhere within the 4 characters without affecting the result. So, all the following will yield the same result: "-4-5", "--54", "-45-"; they will all search for "45" at any position and in any arrangement. There are, however, a couple of trivial restrictions : Do not use more than two hyphens, and do not use the wild cards (? and *) and the hyphens together.

   Note the difference between this search and the wild card search discussed above. Entering '123*' will list numbers that start with 123; but entering '123-' will list all the numbers that contain 1,2, and 3.

When you first load this web page, or if you do not enter any number in the search box, the winning history of the latest Big 4 number (9717 ) will be listed.

Among other obivious results, the lists also contain "Draws between draws" and "Time between draws" columns that indicate the draws and time elapsed, respectively, between consecutive draws.

At the end of the lists are brief summaries. Especially interesting is how long ago the number or the number pattern was last drawn.
