When you play TOTO, you do so in hopes of winning the eye-watering top prize. But what are your odds of doing so? To answer this question, we dusted off our copy of Schaum's and refreshed our knowledge on Permutations and Combinations. We need to match all 6 numbers from a possible list of Since the numbers don't repeat, there is only 1 possible combination that will yield us the top prize.
Then again, we humans are bad at gauging immensely improbably events. The actual odds and prize value would can only be calculated once sales closes, since additional 54 per cent of sales in each draw would be added to grow the prize pool. An intending Participant of any System Entry shall pay the requisite stake for the System Entry chosen as follows:. Where the numbers are selected by the Company's computer systems for and on behalf of the Participant, the selected numbers shall be made available for the Participant's reference via the Transaction History, or such other media as the Company may from time to time decide.
The Entry is treated as a single Bet in the Company's system regardless of how many units the Entry is divided into. The Participant will receive the number of Tickets equal to the number of units the Entry is divided into as requested. Each Ticket will indicate the type of Entry, the stake and the unit number of the ticket.
The total stake paid for the Group TOTO entry is divided equally amongst the Tickets issued, and the amount per unit after division must be in multiples of ten 10 cents and shall be no less than seven 7 dollars per unit.
The prize amount for that Entry, if any, will be divided equally by the number of Tickets issued for that Entry, and the bearer of each Ticket can claim a proportion of the prize amount for that Entry, based on his or her Ticket s. The number of units and the stake for each iTOTO Entry will be made known to the Participant, who pays only for the number of units he wishes to purchase. The Participant will receive a Ticket indicating the type of Entry, the total stake and the total number of units created for the Entry as well as the number of units the Participant has purchased.
The prizes amounts, if any, will also be divided equally by the same number of units and the Participant will win a proportion of the applicable prize based on the number of units he has purchased. The Company may at its discretion, make available or amend the bet type, modes of play, and methods or permutations for participation in Group TOTO and iTOTO upon such conditions as the Company may deem fit.
There shall be a prize pool available for distribution of prizes which may be won for each draw " Prize Pool ". Allocations shall be made to seven 7 groups of prizes based on the number of winning numbers matched in the following manner The Group 3 pool amount, which is five and a half per cent 5. A winning share shall mean a winning combination of numbers, which matches the requisite number of winning numbers under Rule 7.
In the event that the Jackpot Prize amount plus any "snowballed" amount s collectively, the "Prize Amount" is less than the Minimum Guaranteed Amount, the Prize Amount shall be increased by the Company to the Minimum Guaranteed Amount, and paid out to and shared equally among the total number of winning shares of the Jackpot Prize.
If in any draw, neither the Jackpot Prize nor the Group 2, 3 or 4 prizes is won, the allocation for the Jackpot Prize and the Group 2, 3 and 4 prizes shall be carried forward or "snowballed" as follows If the Jackpot Prize is not won in any draw, the Jackpot Prize amount i.
The "snowballing" shall continue until the Jackpot Prize is won or at the end of four 4 or more, as the case may be consecutive draws, whichever is earlier. If the Group 2 prize is not won in any draw, the Group 2 pool amount i.
The "snowballing" shall continue until the Group 2 prize is won. Winning number groups with these three patterns occur in 80 percent of all drawings. Look at a list of past winning numbers for Singapore Toto, and you'll see, more often than not, that one or more of the number groups is not represented. For example, in the combination , there are no 20's. Tracking and studying Number Groups can help you decide which group to omit and which group to give extra heavy play.
List the number of games skipped games out since the last hit win for each of the winning numbers during the last five games.
Then mark the number of times each skip occurred. If any skip from 0 to 5 did not occur, play the Lotto numbers that are out that many games. Help working with lotto games skipped. After you choose six numbers you want to play, add them together and make sure that the sum of the six numbers adds up to somewhere between and Sums that fall within that range will account for over 70 percent of all lottery jackpots won.
Numbers that have been out losers for four games or less account for about half of the winning numbers drawn. Losing numbers that have been out ten games or less account for 80 percent of all the winning numbers. This tells us that hot numbers are more likely to hit, but don't forget to include at least one long shot in your group of 6. It is difficult to know when a cold number will end a long losing streak. If you play a number every drawing because you think it is due , you could be chasing it for many months.
Number 45 in New York Lotto sat out drawings before it finally hit. Although, when a number has been out for 70 games or so, it might be worth chasing.
Don't believe anyone who says any strategy is a "sure thing". The only sure thing is the "house" or in many cases, the government are the real winners. Of course, there are no "best" numbers, but it's interesting to see which ones occur most frequently. The number with highest frequency 40, at times has come out 1.

Should we teach gambling in math classes? On Monday 11 June , the winning numbers for Singapore Toto were 1,10,19,23,29,45 with additional number The next consecutive draw on Thursday 14 June had five of the same numbers from the Monday draw.

Let us start with a similar but simpler game. Say we have 9 numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and we draw 4 numbers each time. Four numbers have been drawn say 1,2,3,4 We want to find the probability that two of these four numbers come out again in the next draw. We choose 2 from the 5 numbers from Category B. Similarly there is another group in which 1,3 repeat, and another where 1,4 repeat, then 2,3 repeat etc.
We want to find the probability of having 5 numbers repeating. Random triangles. Determining Lambda for a Poisson probability calculation by Aetius [Solved! Permutation with restriction by Ioannis [Solved!
