Lottery Singapore is the only legal lottery operator in the country. It is owned by the government and is regulated for fairness and accuracy.
It has a portfolio of four lotteries: Toto, Singapore Sweep, and 4D. It also has a totalisator pool that allows gamblers to invest money on races, competitions and other sporting events.
Toto (established in 1968 and stylised as TOTO) is one of the most popular lottery games in Singapore. It is available in all authorized outlets and offers a 6/49 format, with numbers ranging from 1 to 49.
The top prize in Toto is S$1 million, but the jackpot rolls down if there are no winners for four draws in a row. The draw is held on Mondays and Thursdays at 6:30 pm SST.
If the jackpot rolls down, it is split between lower prize tiers. The lower prize tiers are based on a combination of ball selection and a fixed amount.
Players can buy tickets at all Singapore Pools outlets. The company is owned by the Singapore government and has been around since 1968.
A lot of Singaporeans play the lottery at least once a week. In fact, the game is so popular that it has a 40% share of total gambling in Singapore.
Despite the popularity of the game, it is important to play responsibly and not bet beyond your means. The National Council on Problem Gambling has a number of resources that can help people who might be suffering from gambling addiction.
