Singapore’s Toto fever is set to intensify once again, with the next draw boasting a massive S$12 million top prize in a special Lunar New Year Hong Bao edition.
After a recent multi-million-dollar jackpot was snapped up by a single ticket holder, excitement is already building for what could be one of the biggest payouts of the season. Lottery enthusiasts across the island are expected to make their way to outlets in the coming days, hoping to usher in the festive period with a life-changing windfall.
According to Singapore Pools, the special Hong Bao draw will feature a S$12 million jackpot, making it one of the most anticipated Toto draws in recent memory. In addition to standard entries, punters can also purchase S$10 and S$20 Toto packs, available at all outlets from 6.10pm on Monday, Feb. 23, 2026.
Extended Operating Hours For Hong Bao Draw
To cater to the expected surge in ticket sales, Singapore Pools has announced extended operating hours on Friday, Feb. 27, 2026. The Main Branch, along with all branches and retail outlets, will operate from 8am until 9pm, with sales closing at 9pm sharp.
Customers are advised to check the specific operating hours of their nearest outlet via the official website, as timings may differ across locations. Given the festive draw and the sizeable prize pool, queues are likely to form, particularly at popular suburban outlets and heartland shopping centres.
Participants can also tune in to watch the Toto draw live via the official broadcast platform. As with all draws, viewers will be required to confirm their date of birth before accessing the live stream, in line with age restrictions.
