This is down from the $12 million TOTO Hongbao jackpot last year. Originally set at $8 million, this year’s additional $1.6 million comes from the previous draw on 22 Feb when there was no Group 1 winner.

According to The Straits Times (ST), Singapore Pools reduced the prize size this year in light of snaking queues outside TOTO outlets.

They did so in consideration of safe distancing measures amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

Anticipating the draw tonight, all TOTO outlets are extending their operating hours.

Including the Singapore Pools Main Branch on Middle Road, all branches and authorised retailers will open till 9pm today (26 Feb).

This means that you can dash at your last chance to huat before the draw tonight.
