TOTO (est. in 1968) is a legalized form of lottery sold in Singapore, known by different names elsewhere. It is held by Singapore Pools, the only legal lottery operator in Singapore. As of April 2015, it was the second most popular type of gambling activity, after 4-Digits.[2] TOTO can be purchased from any of the Singapore Pools outlets across Singapore. Draws are conducted every Monday and Thursday at 1830h or 6:30pm (SG time). The "live" TOTO draw can be viewed at the Singapore Pools Main Branch at 210 Middle Road. The profits from TOTO go to the Singapore Totaliser Board (the owner of Singapore Pools) which uses the money for charity and other worthy causes.

History of TOTO

TOTO was established to control widespread illegal gambling in Singapore during the 1960s. A manual version of TOTO was launched on June 9, 1968.[1] In 1981, "snowballing" was inroduced.[4] It allowed the top prize to increase from draw to draw. The system entry mode is introduced so multiple bets can be made on a single coupon.[3]

On May 19, 1986 TOTO was offered as a computerized on-line game based on a '5 out-of 49' format. In 1988, the game was changed from a '5 out-of 49' format to a '6 out-of 42' format. On July 1, 1997, TOTO format was changed once again to a '6 out-of 45' format.[4]

The game introduced several popular draws, including the TOTO Millennium Draw (December 30, 1999), the Hongbao Draw (February 10, 2000)[5] and the Mooncake Draw (October 6, 2006).

On October 17, 2014 TOTO was changed to a '6 out-of 49' format.[4] In September 2016, TOTO became available online.[6]

Method of Play

A buyer picks at least six numbers, each on a basis of 1 to 49. The winning numbers drawn include six numbers plus an additional number. Three or more winning numbers on a ticket matching the seven numbers drawn qualifies the buyer for a cash prize. The prize money escalates with the increase in numbers matched.

The maximum allowed matching numbers is six. Thus, if six numbers on the TOTO ticket matches the six numbers drawn, the jackpot (Group 1) prize is won.[7]

Placing of bets

There are 4 different ways to place bets:

QuickPick  The computer randomly selects 6 numbers from 1 to 49 for the buyer. No bet slip is required for QuickPick bets.
Ordinary Bet  The buyer selects 6 numbers from 1 to 49 by marking them on a bet slip.
System Bet  The buyer selects 7 to 12 numbers from 1 to 49 by marking on a bet slip. For example, a System 9 bet is a selection of 9 numbers.
System Roll  The buyer selects only 5 numbers from 1 to 49. The 6th number is a guaranteed winning number.

Bet Slip

Bet Cost

Bet Type  Number of Ordinary Bet combinations  Cost
Ordinary  1  S$1
System 7  7  S$7
System 8  28  S$28

System 10  210  S$210
System 11  462  S$462
System 12  924  S$924

The minimum bet amount is S$1.00 per bet ticket. Bets can also be placed by bet amounts. The computer automatically sells the buyer the maximum number of bets for the bet type placed. The balance amount is placed on the next lowest bet type.{{citation needed|date=April 2017}}
