Lottery Singapore is a state monopoly that operates three lotteries – Toto, 4D and Singapore Sweep. It also manages a network of over 300 outlets that facilitate ticket purchases and the payment of prizes.
Lotteries, sports betting and horse racing are booming in Singapore after COVID-19 regulations were lifted. In the last financial year, SGD9.2 billion was wagered on lottery and sports betting products, according to the Tote Board.
This number is up 40% from the previous year, despite the fact that casinos had to pay a daily casino entry levy in order to operate. During the circuit breaker period, the Singapore Turf Club reported a significant drop in visitors and revenue, but things have picked up since then.
TOTO, a legal lottery sold in Singapore and known by several other names elsewhere, is a popular game among locals and tourists alike. It is available at more than 300 outlets across the country, and the jackpots are typically quite big.
The odds of winning a Toto jackpot are very good, at 1 in 13,983,816, though not as high as some of the world’s biggest lotteries. There are seven prize tiers to choose from, which include a fixed amount and a percentage of the total jackpot.
If you want to win the TOTO jackpot, you must match all six numbers. The jackpot will roll down if no winner has picked all the winning numbers for four consecutive draws.
A TOTO ticket costs $1. It can be purchased at any of the over 300 Singapore Pools outlets around the country, including those in shopping malls. If you’d prefer to skip the queue, you can buy a ticket online. However, you should keep in mind that this option has a few limitations and restrictions.
