The additional number was 5.
While the jackpot is often shared between a few winners, only one punter managed to crack the winning formula this time round.
He or she thus snagged the full sum of more than S$5.5 million.
In contrast, the Group 2 prize was shared among six tickets, with each getting a relatively paltry S$241,107.

The National Day jackpot is the highest amount won by a ticket purchased from this outlet, according to information from Singapore Pools.
The winning ticket was bought via 1 QuickPick Ordinary Entry, meaning the minimum bet amount was S$1.
It also means the winning combination was selected randomly by the computer.
The TOTO National Day draw took place at the Singapore Pools Building on Middle Road.
Punters could place their bets by purchasing packs of S$10, S$20 or S$60 — the latter specially released for SG60.
