Singapore Pools – Toto Singapore

Singapore Toto – SG Pools

The Singapore Lottery is run by Singapore Pools under government authorization and offers a wide variety of general sports betting – especially football – as well as highly popular Singapore Lotto games to the public.

The Singapore Lottery has been in operation for quite some time now having first been created back on May 23rd 1968 beginning with its very first lottery game – the Toto Singapore. This game is still going strong today and is as widely played as it ever has been.

The Singapore Totalisator Board under the Minister of Finance in Singapore has owned Singapore Pools since May 1st 2004 and The SG Pools carries out over 250 draws every year for their lottery games including a once per year special drawing called the Singapore Toto Hong Bao.

There are numerous games offered by Singapore Pools including the Singapore Sweep, a Pick 4 game called 4D, football and motor racing betting plus the flagship Singapore Lotto game that we are going to look at in detail here…the Toto Singapore…

Singapore Pools Toto – Overview

The Singapore Toto is a traditional draw-style, pick six lotto game offered by the Singapore Pools and is the premier game available from the SG Pools portfolio of games.

Singapore Pools first introduced the SG Toto game way back on June 9th 1968 and it has been incredibly popular both in Singapore and right across the world ever since its early days.

The Toto Singapore has a jackpot which starts at S$ 1 MILLION and for every draw that the top prize is not won it will rollover and increase in size each time until a lucky jackpot winner is found.

SingaporePools calls this "snowballing" and this jackpot increase can occur for up to a maximum of 4 times before the top prize will then eventually "cascade" down to the next winning prize level and be shared amongst all of the winners in that prize category.

Most unusual amongst world lottery games is the fact that the prizes on levels 2, 3 and 4 also rollover when there is no winner – these prizes keep rising in size until a winner is found and here there is no limit to the amount of rollover draws that can occcur 

Singapore Pools Toto – How it Works

Toto Singapore uses what is known as a 6/49 matrix which means that first of all – 6 main numbers are drawn out of a number range from 1 to 49. This is followed with an additional number that is then drawn from the remaining 43 undrawn numbers that are left over.

Therefore – when you play Singapore Toto – you need to select your 6 numbers out of that number range from 1 to 49. If you successfully match all 6 of the main numbers drawn you will be the winner of a SingaporeToto jackpot prize.

The additional number drawn is used to determine who the winners are on prize levels 2, 4 and 6 of the Toto Singapore.

A QuickPick facility is also available when you are playing Toto Singapore. This is the same as the "Lucky Dip" option that is used with the UK National Lottery and Europe’s EuroMillions or the “Quick Pick” that nearly all USA Lottery games have – meaning that you can ask your Singapore Lottery retailer or computer to automatically select all your Singapore Toto numbers for you.
