The TOTO jackpot snowballed after three consecutive draws — on 24 Feb, 27 Feb, and 3 March — failed to produce a Group 1 winner.

The last draw that had a Group 1 winner was on 20 Feb, when one punter took home an impressive S$3,249,509, while the only Group 2 winner got S$380,878.
So far, there was one Group 2 winner on 24 Feb, two on 27 Feb and five on 3 March — but no Group 1 winner.
This caused the Group 1 prize to increase from S$1.37 million on 24 Feb to S$3.17 million on 27 Feb, and then S$6.3 million on 3 March.
Accordingly, the draw on 6 March 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 will also close later at 9pm.
While the draw on 6 March is the first cascade draw of 2025, three other draws this year have attracted punters’ interest with jackpots of more than S$10 million.
The New Year Draw on 3 Jan had three winners sharing the jackpot of S$11.6 million, while the Reunion Draw on 24 Jan had a jackpot that snowballed to S$13.3 million, split between just two winners.
Most recently, the Hong Bao Draw on 7 Feb had a S$12.6 million jackpot that was split three ways.
The previous non-festive season cascade draw was less than four months ago, on 14 Nov.
That draw was also conducted after three consecutive weeks with no Group 1 winner.

After the dust settled, four winners split a whopping S$13,089,780, with each of them getting a still-considerable sum of S$3,272,445.
One of the winners bought their winning ticket from Tong Aik Huat, a famous Singapore Pools outlet in Hougang that has produced several winners.
Before 14 Nov, the last S$10 million cascade draw was on 21 Oct, when two lucky winners split S$13,214,250 in half.
Thus, given recent history of cascade draws, the draw on 6 March could have an eventual jackpot of more than S$13 million as well.
