In contrast, 17 people shared the Group 2 prize, with each receiving a comparatively smaller S$87.564.
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 4 May July draw was declared as a cascade draw after three consecutive draws — on 23 April, 27 April, and 30 April — failed to produce a Group 1 winner.
It was also the second cascade draw of this year.
The previous cascade draw — the first of this year — was on 29 Jan.
Its jackpot was a massive S$13.5 million, with six winners eventually sharing the prize money.
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.
If there are no Group 2 winners, the Group 3 winners will split the prize, and so on.
Last year, a total of 12 cascade draws were conducted — an average of one per month.
The next TOTO draw will be on Thursday (7 May), for an estimated jackpot of S$1 million.
