TOTO Price Pool Reaches $10 Million On 17 Jan, Is 7th Largest Since 2014

$4.9 Million Of 7th Largest TOTO Prize Pool Came From Snowballed Unclaimed Winnings

Earlier this week, Singapore Pool came under scrutiny when software errors affecting the TOTO online system excluded the number ’49’ from being selected.

But there may soon be something to cheer about, as far as TOTO is concerned.

The prize pool for Friday’s (17 Jan) jackpot is estimated to hit a whopping $9.9 million — the 7th largest TOTO prize pool since 2014.

$10 million TOTO draw will be a ‘cascading’ one

The massive prize pool is partly the result of the snowballed prize pool from previous ‘unclaimed’ draws.

Specifically, more than $4.9 million have been snowballed from the 3 previous TOTO draws on 6, 9 and 13 Jan.

That, combined with the reunion draw prize of 5 million, brought the Group 1 prize to nearly $10 million.

The 3 prior draws did not result in any Group 1 winners, so the winnings have been carried over to Friday’s (17 Jan) draw.

As there have been 3 consecutive draws without any Group 1 winners, Friday’s (17 Jan) draw will be a ‘cascading‘ one — the prize pool will be paid to the next prize group with winner(s).

The draw will take place at 9.30pm today.
