Explanatory Answer

Option 1: This sentence correctly uses "draw" to indicate a tied result in a cricket match. Even though the batsman's sixer changed the outcome, the term "draw" was apt in describing the initial state of the match.
Option 2: Here, "draw" is appropriately used to denote a lottery selection, implying a random choice that awarded him the rare painting.
Option 3: In this sentence, "draw" is misused. The intended meaning is to refer to a compartment in a cupboard, which should be "drawer." Using "draw" in this context is incorrect as it does not denote a storage space.
Option 4: "Draw" is correctly employed as a verb that means to extract or pull out water from the well.

Hence, the answer is 'He used to keep all his important documents in the draw of his cupboard.'

Choice C is the correct answer.
