A Singapore-based lottery operator, Lotter Singapore offers three main lotteries – 4-D, Toto and Singapore Sweep. It also has a range of sports betting markets. Players can play the games online via their desktop computer, mobile phone or tablet.
The Singapore Toto 6 of 49 is one of the most popular lottery games in the country. It has a progressive jackpot that starts off at $1 million and grows until someone wins it. However, there are a few things you should know about the game before playing it.
You need to have a Singapore license to participate in the lottery. This is a requirement by the government to protect players from illegal gambling.
In addition, all lottery winners must submit a statement and pay gambling duty to IRAS. Failure to do so could result in a fine.
Singaporeans have spent a record amount of money on lotteries and sports last year, after the city-state lifted Covid-19 restrictions. The Tote Board says it saw a 40% increase in the amount of money punters bet on 4-D, Toto and sports such as football, making it the largest sum placed on such wagers in the past decade.
Casino entry levies also increased, with a 10 per cent increase in the amount collected in the previous financial year. The daily levy for Singaporeans and permanent residents is $150.
A woman claiming to be a single mom who earns less than $2,000 Singaporean dollars a month recently won a 4D lottery ticket worth about $200,000, but was unable to collect her prize because her friend allegedly ran away with it. She shared the story in a private Facebook group and is now seeking help.
