I won’t lie.

I was truly taken aback when I received this article headline in my mailbox.

Spinning around deftly on my roller-chair, I asked BH, my editor, “Eh, are you sure it’s okay if we write about Toto? Isn’t gambling a no-no for us?”

BH: “What? But Toto is charity what.”

Me: “If Toto is charity, then lizards are fish skin, cyclists and drivers are best friends, and Obike and Ofo are still the darling of the transport-sharing community.”

BH: “You must clearly be living under a rock then because don’t you know all surplus generated from Singapore Pools’ operations are channelled to the Tote Board Group (comprising Tote Board, Singapore Pools and Singapore Turf Club) and fund worthy causes in the arts, community development, charity, education, health and sports sectors?”

Me: “Say only what, so how much have they given to the Tote Board Group over the last ten years?”

BH: “Uhhh, how about like $6 billion?”

Me: “Okay I get it, but lizards are still not fish skin okay.”

TOTO $5 Million Reunion Draw

So if you don’t already know where this article is heading, I’ll be upfront to state that this is a PSA for Singapore Pools’ yearly TOTO $5 Million Reunion Draw

According to my immaculate research, this appears to be the 7th instalment of the draw as the earliest mention of the ‘Reunion Draw’ goes back to 2013.

$10 and $20 packs

To make it more interesting, Singapore Pools is also offering a $10 and $20 pack for the ‘Reunion Draw’ which is available at all outlets from Mon, 28 Jan 2019, 6.10pm.

Their permutations consists of:

If you can’t see the images (or you need to read it twice to huat):

$10 Pack:

• 1 TOTO ticket / $7
  • 1 Board of Quick Pick System 7
• 1 Singapore Sweep ticket/ $3
  • For coming draw

$20 Pack

• 2 TOTO ticket / $14

Outlet Extended Operating Hours

To facilitate the expected influx of happy and charitable punters, Singapore Pools outlet will operate under extended hours:

While their phone line will also stay open for a longer period of time:

Lest you are unaware, two lucky winners took home 9.58 million in the 14 Jan draw and 9.7 million in the 3 Jan draw respectively.

They are till date, the second-largest and largest amounts won by a single person since 2014, when the Toto game was updated to its current format.

It does indeed seem like this year of the pig might turn out to be indeed a year of the piggy-bank.

Oinks.

That said, please remember “customers should play [Singapore Pool] games just for a little flutter and it must not adversely affect their finances or lifestyle”, so says a disclaimer on Singapore Pools page.
