Less than a month after the last S$10 million TOTO jackpot, another draw has snowballed to an eight-figure sum.
According to the Singapore Pools website, the draw on Thursday (14 Nov) will be conducted at 9.30pm that night.

The TOTO jackpot snowballed after three consecutive draws — on 4 Nov, 7 Nov, and 11 Nov — failed to produce a Group 1 winner.

The last draw that had a Group 1 winner was on 31 Oct, when one punter took home S$1,210,119.
So far, there were four Group 2 winners on 4 Nov, two on 7 Nov and three on 11 Nov — but no Group 1 winner.
This caused the Group 1 prize to increase from S$1.2 million on 4 Nov to S$2.9 million on 7 Nov, and then S$6 million on 11 Nov.
Accordingly, the draw on 14 Nov will be a cascade draw, which is typically called in such a situation.
That means 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 would also close later at 9pm.
The previous time the jackpot snowballed to S$10 million was just about three weeks ago, on 21 Oct.
That draw was also conducted after three consecutive weeks with no Group 1 winner.

After the dust settled, two winners split a whopping S$13,214,250, with each of them getting S$6,607,125.
One of the winning tickets was a System 7 entry sold online, meaning that the punter paid S$7 for seven numbers instead of the usual six, which gives them seven ordinary entries instead of one.
The other winning ticket was a System 8 entry sold at a Singapore Pools outlet named Tong Aik Huat.
A System 8 entry means the bettor paid S$28 for eight numbers, giving them 28 entries.
Before 21 Oct, the last S$10 million cascade draw was on 9 May, when one very lucky winner took home S$13,123,509 all for themselves.
