Unless the winner is already a millionaire, it will be all gone in less than 2 years.

I totally agree. The winner is always Spools. No confirmation that everything they say is true. Telling the world that the winner bought from a particular betting outlet is not confirmation enough. No one is the wiser! This is unlike other countries where the public knows that there is a real winner.

Lucky Toto punter hits $8m jackpot
The Straits Times*|*Fri, Mar 13, 2015
ONE person became $8 million richer last night, after picking all six winning numbers in yesterday's Toto draw.

It is the biggest individual windfall in the draw's history.

According to Singapore Pools' website, a simple, manual version of Toto was introduced in 1968.

About 100 people were at the regular Thursday draw at the main Singapore Pools branch in Middle Road yesterday.

The winning numbers were 14, 15, 19, 20, 36 and 47. The additional number was 10.

The winning ticket was sold at the NTUC FairPrice outlet in Tiong Bahru Plaza.

The winner took home the Group 1 jackpot prize of $8,042,310.

The previous single largest best was $6.52 million in May 2007, according to Singapore Pools.

There was news item recently about some court case where it came out the guy won $600+ at Toto.

It must be real bit strange nv hear any leaks in internet media by relations, friends etc..

Group 1 prize is $1,000,000 the amount was snowballed over three draws I think, & the prize money was $6,000,000 on March 12, 2015 draw, but the accumulated takings for Thursday totalled to $8,000,000. If you go their website, there was 2 winners from the same outlet at NTUC Supermarket, Tiong Bahru Plaza at the basement. Group 1 winner of Quick Pick System 8 & Group 2 winner of Quick Pick System 7, maybe the same person strike 2 tics or a group of people, pool their money to buy, a few tics. Who knows?

Sometimes I wonder how much money is spent chasing those millions...say $6,000,000 the money collected maybe $60,000,000 or more...

I just looked at the SG pools website and noted something interesting.

Firstly, there is no issue about the prize money. The $1 Million was snowballed over 3, or perhaps 4 draws.

However if you look at the breakdown by outlets, the group one winner was a quick pick system 8 ticket from Tiong Bahru NTUC. It wouldn't have been that surprising if the same ticket also won the group 2 prize, since the extra number could be one of the remaining 2 numbers which were not among the winning 6.

But don't you find it a coincidence that one of the group 2 winners was a quick pick system 7 ticket from the same outlet? i.e. a totally different ticket generated from the same outlet. What are the chances of that? :wink:
