Three Winners Share Nearly $8 Million in Singapore Toto Jackpot After Roll‑Over

Three Winners Share $7.9 Million Toto Jackpot in Singapore

SINGAPORE — Three winning tickets shared the near eight-million-dollar Toto prize on January 2, after the prior draw produced no Group 1 winner.

The winning numbers were 11, 18, 20, 32, 38 and 39, with the additional number 34.

The prize pool began at $5 million for the Jan 2 draw but rose to $6.8 million as there were no Group 1 winners in the previous round. The final jackpot was about $7.9 million, and each winning ticket received roughly $2,653,368.

A Group 1 win requires all six numbers. If no one matches all six, the prize money rolls over to the next draw, up to the fourth rollover. After that, the amount is shared among Group 2 winners.

In this draw, one of the winning tickets was a QuickPick System 7 entry, another came from an iToto System 12 ticket, and the third was purchased at a Singapore Pools branch on Upper Boon Keng Road.

The iToto entry consists of 12 numbers, increasing the odds and divided into 28 shares.A single share costs $33, while a standard System 12 ticket with 12 numbers costs $924.

Group 2 yielded 17 winners, each taking home about $98,000.

Historically, the largest Toto purse on record was $19.4 million on Feb 11, 2022, shared among eight winning tickets.

2. Consider systematic entries – buying a “system” ticket (e.g., 7‑number system) increases coverage without a proportional cost increase.
3. set a budget – treat Toto as entertainment; allocate a fixed amount per week and stick to it.
4. Use the e‑Toto platform – instant result notifications and automatic claim handling streamline the process.
5. Stay informed – subscribe to the Singapore pools newsletter for updates on roll‑over thresholds and special promotions.
