3 About Toto Toto, also known as Lotto in many other countries, is a simple numbers game. A person picks six numbers, each from one to 45. On a Toto draw date, six numbers plus an additional number is drawn. If four or more numbers on a ticket matches the seven drawn numbers, the person wins a cash prize. The more numbers that match, the bigger the prize. If all six numbers match the six numbers drawn, the person becomes a jackpot winner. It costs $1 for two ordinary Toto games.

Set up on 23 May 1968 by the Singapore Government in a bid to curb illegal gambling activities and to channel proceeds of legal gaming operations to community benefit, Singapore Pools is today, a wholly owned subsidiary of Tote Board, a statutory board under the Ministry of Finance.
