4D Special Draw Dates 2026: Every Tuesday Draw in Malaysia
Besides the regular Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday draws, the Ministry of Finance approves a handful of special draws on Tuesdays each year. They run across all six licensed Malaysian operators — Magnum 4D, Da Ma Cai, Sports Toto, Sabah 88, Special Cashsweep and Sandakan STC — at the usual 7:00pm, with the usual prizes. This page lists every special draw date for 2026 and is kept current as operators confirm additional dates.

Dates as announced by the operators and widely published; operators occasionally add dates during the year (typically around festive seasons), so treat this list as confirmed-so-far rather than final.
What a special draw changes — and what it doesn't
- Same game, same prizes. A Tuesday special draw is a normal 4D draw: 23 winning numbers, the standard payout table, the same bet types.
- Same ticket rules. Counters sell tickets for the special draw like any other draw date; a ticket is only valid for the draw date printed on it.
- Draw numbers continue the sequence. Special draws take the next draw number in each operator's running count — so a year with eight specials has eight more draws than one without.
- Jackpot games join in. 4D Jackpot, Magnum Life, Toto 5D/6D and the lotto games are usually drawn on special-draw Tuesdays too.
Who doesn't draw on special Tuesdays
Singapore Pools follows its own Singapore calendar and does not take part in Malaysian special draws. Grand Dragon Lotto and 9 Lotto draw every day of the year anyway, so a "special" Tuesday changes nothing for them.
Why special draws exist
Officially they are additional draws approved by the Ministry of Finance under the operators' licences; in practice they cluster around public holidays and festive periods when demand is high — Chinese New Year, the mid-year school holidays, Merdeka and the year-end. Each operator pays a special-draw duty to the government on top of normal gaming taxes, which is why the number of approved dates has varied from year to year.
Never miss one
The results page shows a countdown to the next draw and lights up LIVE while a special draw is running. Turn on draw-night alerts and your phone will tell you when results are out — Tuesday or not.
