TOTO guide: rules, prizes, tax and claiming

Understand Singapore's TOTO: number format, prize tiers, eligibility, claiming, tax cautions and official winner-location coverage.

What kind of lottery is it?

TOTO asks players to select 6 main numbers from 1 to 49. It also uses 1 bonus number from 1 to 49. Every valid play and draw is independent; historical frequency does not predict the next result.

Number format and winning

Representative prize matches include Group 1 · Group 2 · Group 3. The official game rules remain final for the full tier table, prize allocation, rollovers and bonus mechanics.

Eligibility and claiming prizes

Only the holder of a winning physical ticket may claim it. Singapore Pools states that prizes must be claimed within 180 days of the draw; foreign claimants may need a passport or other original photo identification for larger claims.

Tax and estimated take-home prize

Tax can depend on the selling country, the winner's tax residence, prize size and payment method. A published jackpot or withholding amount is not a guaranteed take-home figure; check the operator and relevant tax authority.

Winner locations and official data

The map uses only winner retailers or regions published by the official operator. Retailer-level and city-level records are labelled at their actual precision.
