Five days before Singapore celebrates our 58th birthday, many Singaporeans were hoping to mark the occasion with a windfall.
They formed long queues over the past few days hoping to become an instant millionaire in this year’s TOTO National Day Draw.
After the dust settled, three lucky punters emerged as the winners this time round, each winning a cool sum of more than S$2.4 million.
Over the last few days, anticipation was building for the TOTO National Day Draw, with a jackpot initially touted to be S$5 million.
As the date of the draw — Friday (4 Aug) — neared, the Group 1 prize snowballed to a tempting S$6.3 million.
This was especially as the previous draw on Monday (31 July) had no top prize winner.
Eventually, the Group 1 prize was a total of S$7,296,261.

The winning numbers ended up being 19, 25, 27, 28, 29 and 48, with an additional number of 34.
As three people managed to crack the winning formula, they will split the prize three ways.
Thus, each of them gets S$2,432,087 — still quite a tidy sum of winnings.
Eventually, three outlets had the rub of the green this time around.
One is a Singapore Pools outlet at Bencoolen Street, which sold a winning ticket via 1 Quickpick System 12 Entry.

The third is a FairPrice supermarket in Bukit Ho Swee, located at Block 50 Havelock Road, which sold the final winning ticket via 1 System 9 Entry.
