Singapore Pools has introduced a new Toto format called Toto Match, which pays out a fixed prize for every dollar bet, starting with the June 12 draw. While the traditional Toto format has a jackpot prize, Toto Match allows punters to win bigger payouts when they make larger bets. For every Toto draw, six winning numbers and one additional number will be chosen between one and 49. Two bet types are available under Toto Match and punters can participate in both for the same draw. First, players can bet on matching either two, three, or four numbers from the winning draw. For every dollar bet, players will receive $50 for two matches, $500 for three matches, and $7,000 for four matches. Under this type, players must have the selected number of matches to win the corresponding prize. For example, if a player bets on getting three matches but has only two, he will not receive the $50 prize for two matches.
