Toto jackpot swells to over $10 million for 12th time this year

SINGAPORE: An estimated jackpot of S$10 million will be up for grabs in Thursday’s Toto draw, after three consecutive draws yielded no winners.

The winning numbers for yesterday’s draw were 10, 19, 22, 34, 39, and 43, with an extra number of 35. As no one won the first prize, nine winners split the second prize pool, each receiving S$67,235.

Since the jackpot of $12,427,689 was won on Oct 23, no one has won the first prize for the past three draws. This means that the next draw will see another jackpot in the double digits.

This will be the 12th time this year that the prize money has exceeded $10 million. In addition to the “Reunion Toto” drawn on January 24 and the “Red Envelope Toto” drawn on February 7, the first group of prizes drawn on Jan 3, Mar 6, Apr 28, Jun 19, Jul 17, Jul 31, Aug 28, Sep 29, and Oct 23 have all exceeded $10 million.

Under Toto’s rules, when the first prize remains unclaimed for three draws, the jackpot continues to snowball; however, if it still remains unclaimed after the fourth draw, the total prize amount will not be carried forward again and will instead be distributed evenly among winners in the next prize group.

If no one secures the Group 1 prize on Thursday, the entire accumulated amount will be shared among those who win Group 2.
