The first TOTO draw of 2025 has concluded with no less than three winners sharing the jackpot of S$11.6 million.
The TOTO New Year Draw on Friday (3 Jan) was hotly anticipated as the jackpot had snowballed to an estimated S$8.2 million.
Eventually, the Group 1 prize for the latest draw had an eye-watering jackpot of S$11,637,633, according to Singapore Pools.
The winning numbers ended up being 9, 11, 24, 29, 39, and 46.
The additional number was 31.
After the dust settled, three Group 1 prize winners emerged.
They will split the jackpot three ways, each getting S$3,879,211.
In contrast, the Group 2 prize was shared among 13 people, with each of them getting S$136,132.
According to Singapore Pools, two of the winning tickets were purchased from huat outlets across the island.
One of them was Tay Sui Lan Agency, a Singapore Pools Authorised Retailer in The Arcade, a mall along Collyer Quay.
The winning ticket bought from there was a QuickPick System 7 entry, meaning the minimum bet amount was S$7.
Incredibly, the store also sold a Group 2 winning ticket — a System 12 entry — in the same draw.
After the 3 Jan draw, Tay Sui Lan has now produced no less than eight jackpot winners since 2015. Its previous Group 1 ticket was sold for a draw on 20 May 2024.
Another winning ticket was purchased from the Singapore Pools outlet in the FairPrice supermarket at Hillion Mall, Bukit Panjang.
It was a QuickPick Ordinary Entry, meaning it cost just S$1.
That outlet has produced just two Group 1 winners since 2017, with the previous winning ticket sold for a draw on 4 Sept 2017.
The third winning ticket was a System 7 Entry bought via Singapore Pools’ online betting service.
The 3 Jan New Year draw initially had an estimated jackpot of S$5 million.
However, punters were all abuzz when it snowballed to an estimated S$8.2 million after two consecutive draws — on 26 Dec and 30 Dec — failed to produce a Group 1 winner.
The next TOTO draw will be next Monday (6 Jan), for an estimated jackpot of S$1 million.
