Toto jackpot is a lottery game that combines a number of other popular lotteries and games. It is one of the most popular lotteries in Singapore and was first introduced in 1968.
To win the toto jackpot, you need to pick six numbers between 1 to 49 plus an additional number and place a minimum bet of S$1 inclusive of GST at Singapore Pools outlets and over the phone betting service. The draw takes place twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30pm.
TOTO Rules (General)
In a Toto draw, 6 winning numbers and an additional number are drawn at random using a computer. If all six of your selected Toto numbers match the six numbers drawn, you win the Group 1 prize or any other winning share in that specific draw.
TOTO Group prizes are split into 4 categories: Jackpot, Group 2 & 3, and Group 4. If no winners are found in any of the groups between the draws, the prize amount will be snowballed and accumulated to the next draw within that group.
The prize money in the Toto jackpot is calculated based on a pari-mutuel system that is determined by the total income of the betting pool, the number of winning shares and the % payout. This means that the payout varies over time, but it is still higher than other lotteries like the Powerball and Mega Millions.
It is also worth mentioning that Toto is a lottery that is more about luck than skill. It is a game of chance, but you can increase your chances of winning by playing with the right settings. These settings are called systems and are shaded on the left side of your Toto slip.
