In the recent TOTO lottery draw held on November 21, 2024, a total prize pool of $1,190,423 was distributed among 13 winners in Group 1, resulting in each winner receiving approximately $91,571. This outcome highlights the nature of lottery winnings, where a substantial jackpot is often shared among multiple winners, leading to individual payouts that may be significantly lower than the total prize amount.
The winning numbers for this draw were 4, 7, 11, 14, 21, and 28, with an additional number of 36. The distribution of prizes across various groups reflects the tiered structure of the TOTO lottery, which allows for multiple levels of winnings based on the number of matching numbers.
In addition to the Group 1 winners, there were also payouts in other prize groups. For instance, Group 2 had six winners who each received $41,770, while Group 3 saw 426 winners taking home $405 each. The lower prize groups, such as Group 5 and Group 6, had significantly more winners, with 12,307 and 7,502 winners respectively, receiving $50 and $25 each. This tiered system ensures that while the top prizes may be large, there are also opportunities for smaller wins, making the lottery appealing to a broader audience.
The winning tickets for Group 1 were sold at various locations, including Singapore Pools outlets and NTUC FairPrice stores, showcasing the accessibility of lottery participation across Singapore. Notably, several winning tickets were purchased through the Singapore Pools Account Betting Service, which allows players to place bets online.
This draw serves as a reminder of the excitement and unpredictability of lottery games, where large sums can be won, but the reality of sharing those winnings among multiple winners can temper the initial thrill. As always, participants are encouraged to play responsibly and be mindful of the odds involved in lottery games.
