TOTO
TOTO is a popular lottery game in Singapore, which is available at many Singapore Pools outlets across the country. The game costs $1 per board and draws twice a week on Monday and Thursday. Players choose 6 numbers from 1 to 49 and an extra bonus number. The jackpots can reach up to S$1 million and there are seven prize tiers.
Winnings received from Singapore Pools lottery games are tax-exempt. These include 4D, Toto, football, Singapore Sweep, horse racing and fruit machine (jackpot) winnings. However, if you’re winning a jackpot worth S$1 million or more, you must pay a duty on your prize money. This is because lottery winnings are considered as windfalls.
