The Singapore lottery is a popular way to win cash. It’s a simple system that you can play from home or at any time. However, it’s important to understand the rules of the game before you start playing.
Singapore Pools operates Lottery Singapore, which includes 4D and Toto games. They also offer sports betting on cricket, football and horse racing.
Winnings on Toto are tax-free in Singapore. Depending on your winnings, you can either claim them in cash or use them to make donations and charitable grants to organisations like the National Sports Associations and children’s charities.
Toto Singapore was created in 1968 and is the country’s first legalised lottery. You can buy Toto tickets from any of the Singapore Pools outlets or online. You can win anywhere from S$1 to S$3 if your ticket number matches one of 19 seven-digit winning numbers drawn in every draw.
Another type of lottery is Singapore Sweep, which was first launched in 1969 and offers a top prize of $2.3 million. You can buy a Singapore Sweep ticket from any of the Singapore Pools outlets or at national authorized retailers for $3.
The Singapore Sweep results are announced on the first Wednesday of every month. Players can win up to $6 if the final two digits of their ticket number match any of the nine winning two-digit numbers drawn.
Winnings on Singapore Sweep are disbursed as cheques at the Singapore Pools main office at 210 Middle Road. You can visit the office during business hours Monday to Friday to claim your prize.
