$13.5 million Toto prize split among 6 tickets

A $13.5 million Toto jackpot was shared by six winning tickets on January 29th, following three consecutive draws without a Group 1 winner. The final jackpot amount reached $13,524,372, resulting in each winning ticket receiving $2,254,062, according to Singapore Pools.

Jackpot Growth and Distribution

The prize pool began at nearly $1.3 million for the January 19th draw and increased to approximately $5.9 million by January 26th. The Toto system dictates that if no winners emerge, the prize money “snowballs” to the next draw, up to a maximum of four draws. After the fourth draw without a winner, the accumulated funds are then distributed among winners in Group 2.
