We’re now weeks away from Chinese New Year (CNY), so many Singaporeans were praying for a huat way to start the festivities.

The best way to do that, of course, is to become an instant millionaire in the TOTO jackpot prize.

After long queues islandwide, 2 lucky punters have emerged as the winners this time round, each winning a cool sum of $5.36 million.

Group 1 prize was $10.7M

The latest draw took place at 6.30pm on Monday (10 Jan), for a Group 1 prize of $10,713,876.

The winning numbers ended up being 8, 11, 17, 21, 30 and 44, with an additional number of 48.

Prize had snowballed from 7 Jan

Singaporeans may have had higher hopes this round after nobody won the draw last Friday (7 Jan), where the Group 1 prize was $5 million.

The top prize thus snowballed to an estimated $8.6 million.

Faced with the prospect of winning that much moolah, Singaporeans queued up at Singapore Pools outlets and authorised retailers all over the island.

The queues didn’t appear just on Monday, but over the weekend as well. A queue of about 50 people was seen at Northpoint City in Yishun on Sunday (9 Jan).
