Lottery Singapore offers a wide range of lottery games and sports betting options. You can play them online, at lottery kiosks at malls and shopping centres or through overseas agents. However, there are some risks involved and you should be aware of the different scams that might target you.
4D, Toto and Singapore Sweep
The three major lottery games in Singapore are 4-D, Toto and Singapore Sweep. They each have multiple tiers of cash prizes. These winnings are tax-free in Singapore, meaning that you don’t need to declare them as income on your taxes.
Toto is the oldest of the lotteries and was first introduced in 1968. It has evolved over the years to become a more sophisticated and interesting game.
TOTO is a 6/49 game where players must select six numbers from a pool of 1 to 49. The jackpot starts off at $1 million and increases each week until it is won.
It is a popular and easy-to-play game. The cost is only $1, including GST.
While the jackpots aren’t as big as those offered by international lotteries, they are still a great way to win money. The game has been around for over four decades and continues to grow in popularity.
The lottery is regulated by the Tote Board, which is a statutory body that governs Singapore Pools, the only legal lottery operator in the country. The company also runs horse racing and sports betting.
The National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) says that people who gamble excessively should seek help. They can do this by calling NCPG’s helpline on 1800-668-668 or through its Webchat. In addition, family members can apply for a family exclusion order to suspend an individual’s online betting account.
