Lotto depression
Sir, – So the largest ever lotto jackpot in Ireland has been won. Being based in Dublin, I had the few minutes of excitement as I checked my tickets, hoping I had won it. Alas, my dreams were dashed. Now I am in a lotto depression. I am curious as to who has won the jackpot. Now forget the 'it would be lovely if a friend or neighbour won it'. Sorry, but the green-eyed jealousy monster won't allow that. I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking that way. Suddenly, €250 million is way too much for one person or group to win! It will destroy his/her/their lives. READ MORE Yes, if it can't be me, it shouldn't be anyone else! As I said, post-lotto dejection has set in. Therapy may be required to ease this, or else, there is one other option. I'll just have to go and buy another ticket. – Yours, etc, BRIAN CULLEN, Dublin 16.

Record-breaking $12.32 million Toto jackpot won by single ticket in Yew Tee
WM Commons Featured News Singapore News SINGAPORE: A single, incredibly fortunate bettor has walked away with more than $12.32 million in Thursday night's (19 June) Toto draw, setting a new record for the highest first-prize payout in the history of Singapore Pools' Toto lottery. The winning numbers drawn on 19 June were 1, 10, 37, 40, 45, 47, with the bonus number 19. According to Singapore Pools, the jackpot prize — a staggering $12,323,051 — was the result of four consecutive draws where no winner had emerged for the top prize. Under Toto's updated rules, if the Group 1 (jackpot) prize is not won for three straight draws, it snowballs and must be paid out in the fourth draw, regardless of whether anyone matches all six winning numbers. This payout mechanism drove the prize pool to historic heights. The winning ticket was placed at Value Supermarket in Yew Tee Point, using the QuickPick System 7 Entry method, where the system generates a set of numbers for the player and increases the odds by selecting seven numbers instead of the usual six.

With queues at Toto outlets expected to lengthen once again following this headline-making win, Singapore Pools continues to urge players to play responsibly.
