Overview: What Is Singapore Toto?
Singapore Toto is one of Southeast Asia's most recognized lottery games, operated by Singapore Pools — the only legal lottery operator in Singapore. It has been running since 1968 and draws a large weekly player base. The game is simple to understand but offers multiple prize tiers, making it appealing to a broad audience.
How Singapore Toto Works
The game follows a 6/49 format with an added bonus ball:
- Players select 6 numbers from a pool of 1 to 49.
- Six winning numbers plus one additional bonus number are drawn each round.
- Draws are held every Monday and Thursday.
- A minimum jackpot of SGD 1 million is guaranteed.
