Lottery Singapore is a form of gambling in which punters purchase lottery tickets with selected numbers. The numbers are then drawn to win cash prizes. This type of gambling is one of the most popular forms of entertainment worldwide.
Lotteries in Singapore are operated by Singapore Pools, the only legal lottery operator in the country. There are three main types of Singapore Pools lotteries: 4D, TOTO and Big Sweep.
4D
In 4D, punters select 23 combinations of four numbers from a range of numbers ranging from 0000 to 9999. The winning combinations will then be pooled and a winner will be announced. The prize amounts for each prize group will depend on the number of combinations that are pooled.
TOTO
In TOTO, players are required to choose at least six numbers from a number pool of 1 to 49. These numbers will be then selected for a draw that takes place on Mondays and Thursdays at 6.30 PM (SST).
Toto has much more standard gameplay than 4D, but it’s still quite easy to play. The game is also easier to analyse, with charts of past results available in the website and SG Online Casino.
The jackpot amount for TOTO varies depending on the amount raised during the draw. It can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to a million dollars. The top jackpot winner gets 38% of the total prize pool, while lower winners can win smaller cash prizes.
