Singapore lottery is one of the biggest worldwide. Its jackpots are drawn to times a week and there are many ways to play the game, including online. Despite this, the country has very strict gambling laws in place to prevent addiction and other problems. The lottery’s popularity in Singapore is also due to the fact that the games are much cheaper than those found at casinos and there are many systems – even whole books – available for players to use.
In the financial year ended March 2023, punters placed $10.3 billion in bets on the Toto, Big Sweep, and 4D games. This is 12 per cent higher than the amount of money bet on these games in the previous year. This is the highest amount of money placed on lotteries in Singapore’s history.
Toto is a popular type of lottery in Singapore, operated by the Singapore Pools company and owned by the Singapore Totalisator Board. It is regulated by several agencies, and the company is one of only three that can sell tickets for Toto and the other two popular lottery games in Singapore – 4D and Singapore Sweeps. The company is required to operate under the Ministry of Finance and must regulate its business practices to prevent addiction and other problems.
The company also operates the EZ-Link card, which is used to collect lottery winnings and pay utility bills in Singapore. It is estimated that the EZ-Link card is used by more than 5 million people in the city-state. It is also a popular way to travel around the city, as it allows users to bypass traffic and parking.
While the EZ-Link card is a useful tool for lottery players, it is not suitable for everyone. It can be difficult to get an account and to manage it, as the system is very complex and requires a good understanding of the English language. It is also possible to lose a large sum of money while trying to use the service.
In a recent post on her Facebook page, the woman said that she had reached out to Singapore Pools directly for a resolution but was told that the prize money will be disbursed only to the person who holds the ticket. She then wrote that she and her colleagues were running out of ideas on how to help. She is reportedly now looking for a debt collector to assist her in recovering the money.
The winning ticket was purchased at Rangoon Provision Shop, a Singapore Pools outlet located in a quiet row of shops near Farrer Park MRT station. It was a QuickPick System 8 entry. The winner has 180 days to claim their prize. The winning numbers were: 05, 21, 29, 30, 39, 44, and 45. The prize is worth $29,709. The jackpot is now back to zero after a fourth consecutive draw without a Group 1 winner. This will allow more people to win the Group 2 prize.
