Singapore Pools Toto sees 1 winning ticket land $12.8m jackpot for 31 July
Thursday's draw was a cascade draw as the jackpot had swelled or snowballed from about $1.2 million on 21 July to over $10 million following three consecutive draws without a Group 1 winner.
The winning numbers on Thursday evening were 7, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 29 while the additional number drawn was 37.
According to Singapore Pools, the Group 1 winning ticket was bought through its account betting service under the QuickPick Ordinary Entry.
There were also 20 winning tickets for the Group 2 prize which had a share amount of $73,408. You can find out more details of where the winning Group 2 tickets were purchased on the Singapore Pools website.
Thursday's $12.8m jackpot is one of the largest Toto payouts for a single ticket. In October 2023, a record $13,077,918 was won from a single ticket. The figure was surpassed in May 2024 when $13,123,509 was awarded to a sole Group 1 winner.
What is Toto?
Toto was launched in 1968 as the first lottery game in the history of Singapore Pools. The game got its name from a combination of the words 'Totalisator' and 'Lotto'.
The current format of Toto sees six winning numbers and one additional number drawn from 49 numbers (1 to 49) every Monday and Thursday. The jackpot sum begins from $1,000,000.
A snowballing feature, which allows for the prize to increase if there are no winners, was introduced to the game in 1981. The System Entry option, where you can pay to be able to pick more numbers, was added later that year.
What is the prize structure for Toto?

How do I calculate my Toto prize?
Singapore Pools has a prize calculator for Toto which you can find here.
How big can the Toto prize snowball to?
The Group 1 prize amount will not snowball beyond the fourth consecutive draw. If there is no Group 1 winner at the end of four consecutive draws, the final jackpot amount (38% of the fourth draw's prize pool plus snowballed amount from the three preceding draws) cascades, i.e. it will be paid to the next prize group with winner(s) and shared equally.
Prize amounts for Group 2, 3, and 4 will snowball until it is won.
What are the largest jackpot prizes and winning shares in Toto history?
Statistics from Singapore Pools includes lottery draws from 9 October 2014 onwards when Toto was updated to the current 6-out-of-49 format. According to their data, the biggest jackpot prize was $19,416,913 which was drawn on 11 February, 2022.
The $19.4 million jackpot had eight winning shares which means the winning share amount worked out to over $2.4m each. A nice sum but nowhere close to the biggest winning shares in Toto history which came in at over $13m on two separate occasions. This happened first on 2 October in 2023 when a single winning share took home $13,077,918. In May last year, another lucky individual had the sole winning share of a very cool $13,123,509 jackpot.

Trip.com Group (NASDAQ:TCOM) Is Doing The Right Things To Multiply Its Share Price
If you're not sure where to start when looking for the next multi-bagger, there are a few key trends you should keep an eye out for. Typically, we'll want to notice a trend of growing return on capital employed (ROCE) and alongside that, an expanding base of capital employed. Basically this means that a company has profitable initiatives that it can continue to reinvest in, which is a trait of a compounding machine. So on that note, Group (NASDAQ:TCOM) looks quite promising in regards to its trends of return on capital. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. Return On Capital Employed (ROCE): What Is It? For those who don't know, ROCE is a measure of a company's yearly pre-tax profit (its return), relative to the capital employed in the business. Analysts use this formula to calculate it for Group: Return on Capital Employed = Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) ÷ (Total Assets - Current Liabilities) 0.084 = CN¥14b ÷ (CN¥248b - CN¥77b) (Based on the trailing twelve months to March 2025). So, Group has an ROCE of 8.4%. On its own, that's a low figure but it's around the 10% average generated by the Hospitality industry. Check out our latest analysis for Group In the above chart we have measured Group's prior ROCE against its prior performance, but the future is arguably more important. If you'd like, you can check out the forecasts from the analysts covering Group for free. The Trend Of ROCE While in absolute terms it isn't a high ROCE, it's promising to see that it has been moving in the right direction. The numbers show that in the last five years, the returns generated on capital employed have grown considerably to 8.4%. Basically the business is earning more per dollar of capital invested and in addition to that, 33% more capital is being employed now too. So we're very much inspired by what we're seeing at Group thanks to its ability to profitably reinvest capital. The Bottom Line To sum it up, Group has proven it can reinvest in the business and generate higher returns on that capital employed, which is terrific. Since the stock has returned a staggering 119% to shareholders over the last five years, it looks like investors are recognizing these changes. With that being said, we still think the promising fundamentals mean the company deserves some further due diligence. While Group looks impressive, no company is worth an infinite price. The intrinsic value infographic for TCOM helps visualize whether it is currently trading for a fair price. While Group may not currently earn the highest returns, we've compiled a list of companies that currently earn more than 25% return on equity. Check out this free list here.

Powerball Jackpot Hits $426 Million—Here's How Much the Winner Could Take Home After Taxes
The Powerball jackpot ticked up to $426 million after no winners were drawn Saturday night, but a lucky winner or winners would take home substantially less after paying federal and state taxes on their winnings. Winners from Monday's upcoming drawing could get either $426 million in installments or a lump sum of $193.5 million, but that would get slashed significantly after taxes. Getty Images No tickets were sold matching all of Saturday's numbers (6, 18, 34, 35, 36, and Powerball number 2), raising the jackpot again for Monday's upcoming drawing. If a winner is drawn Monday, they will have the option of either accepting the $426 million prize spread out over 30 annualized payments, or take the lump sum of $193.5 million, which is the more popular option for winners. However, a federal withholding tax of 24% is applied to that jackpot, bringing the winnings down to $323.7 million, or $147 million for the lump sum. The winnings are then taxed based on the winners income—which could rise as high as 37% for Americans in the highest tax bracket, bringing the final winnings for the lump sum down to $121.9 million. State taxes then reduce this jackpot even further, with New York charging the highest rate at 10.9%, though some states, including California, Florida and Texas, do not tax winnings. The next drawing is scheduled for Monday night at 10:59 p.m. EDT. If no winner is drawn Monday, the next drawings will take place Wednesday and Saturday. Key Background The odds for winning the Powerball jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million, according to the lottery organizers. The odds of winning the $1 million prize (with a ticket matching five numbers without the Powerball number) are 1 in 11.6 million. Big Number $526 million. That's how much a lucky winner in California got after purchasing a winning ticket in March. Because that player won in the Golden State, they did not have to pay state taxes on those winnings.

EM Funds Adjust Bets as ‘Sell the Dollar' Trade Loses Appeal
The dollar's bounceback in July is convincing some emerging-market investors to bet it will keep rising in coming months. T. Rowe Price Group Inc. says it now favors dollar-denominated emerging market bonds rather than local-currency ones as a tactical trade. Barclays Plc is telling its clients to avoid shorting the greenback versus its Asian peers, while Fidelity International says the higher-for-longer US interest rates make it less attractive to borrow the dollar to fund carry trades.
