31 July TOTO jackpot won by just one person
While a few winners often share the jackpot, just one ticket had the magic combination this time around.
Whichever party holds it will thus receive the full sum of more than S$12.8 million.

The amount is just S$296,024 lower than the record of S$13.1 million won by a single ticket on 9 May 2024.
In contrast, 20 people shared the Group 2 prize, with each receiving a comparatively smaller S$73,408.
Winning ticket bought online
According to Singapore Pools, the winner bought the ticket via the Singapore Pools account betting service.
The winning ticket was a QuickPick Ordinary Entry, meaning the minimum bet amount was S$1.
It also means the winning combination was selected randomly by the computer.
3 previous draws failed to produce a Group 1 winner
The 31 July draw was declared as a cascade draw after three consecutive draws — on 21 July, 24 July and 28 July — failed to produce a Group 1 winner.
It was also the second cascade draw of July 2025, as the draw just two weeks before on 17 July was also a cascade draw.
Incredibly, the last TOTO draw that had a Group 1 winner was on 3 July, when one punter took home a cool S$2,894,419.

A cascade draw is typically called after three consecutive draws with a Group 1 winner, meaning the Group 2 winners will split the jackpot if no Group 1 winner emerges.
This happened after the cascade draw on 17 July, when 12 Group 2 winners split the jackpot of S$12,766,543.
If there are no Group 2 winners, the Group 3 winners will split the prize, and so on.
Eight cascade draws so far in 2025
2025 has been a huat year so far for Singapore punters, with no less than eight cascade draws thus far.
Previous cascade draws this year were the New Year Draw on 3 Jan, Reunion Draw on 24 Jan, Hong Bao Draw on 7 Feb, and draws on 6 March, 28 April, 19 June and 17 July.
In the draw on 19 June, one lucky punter snagged the full sum of more than S$12.3 million — which at the time was the only cascade draw this year with only one winner.
The next TOTO draw will be on Monday (4 Aug), for an estimated jackpot of S$1 million.
