Game Mechanics
There are two methods of betting on the Toto lottery, the Ordinary and Quick Pick bet. You should try the Ordinary method first because it is much easier to learn.
To play Toto, you need to choose six digits from a pool of numbers from 1 to 49. In the Ordinary bet, you are prompted to decide which digits to include in your six-digit entry and then place your bet.
The minimum wage for an entry for a single set of numbers is $1, however, you can opt to select other bet types which cost more. You will be given a payout once you have guessed at least three winning numbers.
You also have an option to include multiple sets of combinations, however, the winning numbers must be a part of the same series. You can also generate a random set of numbers by utilizing Quick Pic at a lower price.
Complex Entry Systems
There are more complicated systems than the standard six-digit entry such as the System 7 to 12 entries. You have the option to include seven to twelve numbers in a single set, however, the cost of the betting ticket also increases. You can also play System 8 which is also known as the Saturday Lottery Entry.
In order to apply System 8 Toto, you need to select eight digits from the pool of numbers from 1 to 49. Your official entry for the System 8 is divided into 28 games, with each one containing six number combinations of your preference.
Your lottery ticket will only present eight selected numbers. Each of the entries can yield a specific payout since each draw works in the same pattern. For example, if the digits 1 to 4 are included in the winning combinations, your entries of 1 to 6 can yield a reward.
Quick Pic Bets
Quick Pic bets are an easy and cost-effective method of playing the Singapore lottery. Compared to the Ordinary bet which requires you to input manually your desired digits, in QP bets, the computer system will generate the number for you to play.
The cost for the QP method is much lower compared to the Ordinary bet. It is also much more practical to use the System 12 entry to increase your probability of winning a prize.
There is also a method called System Roll which allows you to choose five numbers, while the remaining number is represented by “R”. The rolling number or “R” represents the rest of the numbers that can be drawn.
