Lottery Singapore is a legal form of gambling operated by a subsidiary of the Singapore Tote Board and overseen by the Ministry of Finance. The lottery games include 4D, TOTO, and Singapore Sweep, as well as sports betting on football and motor racing. The company takes responsible gaming seriously and is certified by gambling authorities worldwide.
The prize pool for a given draw varies based on the total amount of bets received and the number of winning tickets. The jackpot for TOTO, for instance, starts at $1 million and increases each week until it is won. The prize pool for Singapore Sweep also exceeds a million dollars.
Retired cartographer Tan, 69, won three of the seven numbers in her last draw in December and bagged a small prize. She still plots maps on a desktop computer for a few hundred dollars in fees from freelance clients, so her new fortune is not much of a change.
Nevertheless, Tan is still looking for good deals, and she has been scouring the internet for the best deal on her next property. She is also looking for a better phone to replace her old Nokia.
To claim your prize, you can visit any of the Singapore Pools outlets on the business day after the draw you won. If you’re unsure of which outlet to visit, check your ticket or search the results on the Singapore Pools website. The prize money will be credited to your account, and you can use the money to place further bets. You can also pay a composition amount instead of owing gambling duties, if you wish.
