Singapore Pools Toto jackpot snowballs past $1.23 million after no winner for 7 July

SINGAPORE — The 7 July Singapore Pools Toto draw ended with no winner for the Group 1 prize of $1,231,037, setting the stage for a bigger jackpot in the next round. The winning numbers were 10, 15, 17, 33, 36, 45, with 34 as the additional number. While the top prize went unclaimed, two Group 2 winners each pocketed $129,583 thanks to QuickPick Ordinary entries. Winning tickets were sold at Fatt Chye Heng Trading (Hougang Avenue 3) and via the Singapore Pools Account Betting Service. Unclaimed prizes by 3 January 2026 will be redirected to Tote Board-managed donations and grants, so check your tickets. Toto was launched in 1968 as the first lottery game in the history of Singapore Pools. The game got its name from a combination of the words 'Totalisator' and 'Lotto'. The current format of Toto sees six winning numbers and one additional number drawn from 49 numbers (1 to 49) every Monday and Thursday. The jackpot sum begins from $1,000,000. A snowballing feature, which allows for the prize to increase if there are no winners, was introduced to the game in 1981. The System Entry option, where you can pay to be able to pick more numbers, was added later that year. The winning numbers for the Singapore Pools Toto draw on Thursday (3 July) were 6, 15, 16, 17, 25 and 34, with the additional number being 31. One lucky ticket took home the Group 1 prize of $2,894,419. Singapore Pools says that 54% of sales in each draw are added to the Toto prize pool. Your winnings from the pool is dependent on which prize group you land in after the draw reveals the winning numbers.

Singapore Pools has a prize calculator for Toto which you can find here. The Group 1 prize amount will not snowball beyond the fourth consecutive draw. If there is no Group 1 winner at the end of four consecutive draws, the final jackpot amount (38% of the fourth draw's prize pool plus snowballed amount from the three preceding draws) cascades, i.e. it will be paid to the next prize group with winner(s) and shared equally. Prize amounts for Group 2, 3, and 4 will snowball until it is won. Statistics from Singapore Pools includes lottery draws from 9 October 2014 onwards when Toto was updated to the current 6-out-of-49 format. According to their data, the biggest jackpot prize was $19,416,913 which was drawn on 11 February, 2022. The $19.4 million jackpot had eight winning shares which means the winning share amount worked out to over $2.4m each. A nice sum but nowhere close to the biggest winning shares in Toto history which came in at over $13m on two separate occasions. This happened first on 2 October in 2023 when a single winning share took home $13,077,918. In May last year, another lucky individual had the sole winning share of a very cool $13,123,509 jackpot.
