SINGAPORE, May 5 \u2014 A single Toto ticket has turned its holder into an overnight multi\u2011millionaire, snagging a staggering S$12.8 million (RM39.7 million) jackpot in the May 4 cascade draw after three consecutive draws produced no winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to The Straits Times<\/em>, the winning numbers were 7, 18, 19, 30, 36 and 48, with additional number 11. The Group\u202f1 prize money of S$12,813,283 was won through a QuickPick Ordinary Entry ticket purchased using the Singapore Pools account betting service.<\/p>\n Under a cascade draw, if no ticket matches all six numbers for three successive draws, the entire accumulated prize pool is awarded in the fourth draw \u2014 in this case shared by all Group\u202f2 winners if the top prize remained unclaimed. However, a sole Group\u202f1 winner emerged, leaving the S$12.8\u202fmillion jackpot intact. Seventeen Group\u202f2 winners each received more than S$87,000.<\/p>\n The prize money started at S$1.2\u202fmillion on April\u202f23 and snowballed to S$5.7\u202fmillion by April\u202f30 after repeated rollovers.<\/p>\n Beating the astronomical odds \u2014 approximately 1 in 14\u202fmillion \u2014 places the winner in an extraordinarily select club. The last Group\u202f1 jackpot win occurred on January\u202f29, when six tickets shared a S$13.5\u202fmillion payout.<\/p>\n While the identity of the winner remains unknown \u2014 whether an individual or part of a syndicate \u2014 the anonymous punter can now begin planning how to enjoy their sudden fortune.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
