The TOTO jackpot snowballed after three consecutive draws — on 2 July, 6 July, and 9 July — failed to produce a Group 1 winner.

There were two Group 2 winners on 2 July, four on 6 July and two on 9 July.
This caused the Group 1 prize to increase from about S$1.2 million on 2 July to almost S$3 million on 6 July, and then more than S$5.7 million on 9 July.
Accordingly, the draw on 13 July will be a cascade draw, which is typically called in a situation where three consecutive draws have gone without a Group 1 Prize winner.
In this fourth draw, the jackpot will be split between the Group 2 winners if no Group 1 winner emerges.
If there are no Group 2 winners, the prize will be split among the Group 3 winners, and so on.

Cascade draws are typically pushed back to 9.30pm from the usual draw timing of 6.30pm, according to Singapore Pools.
Sales will also close later at 9pm.
The previous cascade draw — the second of this year — was on 4 May.
That draw was also conducted after three consecutive draws with no winner from Group 1.
Its jackpot was almost S$12,8 million, with just one lucky winner getting the massive windfall.
The last draw that had a Group 1 winner was on 29 June, when one punter took home an impressive S$2,955,939.
Besides the two previous cascade draws this year, the TOTO Hong Bao Draw also had a jackpot of more than S$10 million. Its eventual jackpot, which swelled to S$12 million, was shared by three winning tickets.
