$5M TOTO Result

Further Update: 27/05/2009:
Well folks, we did not win anything in Monday's TOTO draw as well as Wednesday's 4D draw.
Better luck next time and thanks for trying. Cheers!

Latest Update 25/05/2009:
This is what we are going to do with the $80 we won.
1. $40 will be used to purchase TOTO tickets for today's draw - 25/05/2009.
2. $20 ($10 big & $10 small) to bet on number 2280, and another $20 ($10 big & $10 small) on 8022.

The number '22' is the date the $5M draw was held, and, '80' is the amount we won, hence, 2280. Reverse the amount won and draw date and we get the reverse, 8022.

We shall proceed with this arrangement unless there are disagreements.

Numbers were given out this afternoon during lunch time - Good Luck!


At first check, I believe we have won $80. There were numerous 3 number misses. Will re-check tickets once more later.

IT is confirmed. We have won $80 - with numerous near misses. The payout is $2.20 per person with a balance of $3 to spare.

The winning tickets are all Ordinary Quickpick types with one ticket winning $20 and 2 tickets winning $30 each - for a total of $80.

There were 11 ordinary tickets with 3 winning numbers, missing out on the minimun 4 numbers required to win the smallest cash prize of $20 each.

There were 6 system seven tickets missing out on the same minimum and missing the chance to win between $60 and $90 for each ticket.

Group the two groups of misses together and we have actually missed out approximately $800 worth of cash winnnings.

This has been the best result so far in all our years of pooling our chances to strike the big one. We are not quite there yet - but definitely getting closer.

As for the online survey on whether we will strike the big one . . .

a. 75% believed we would strike the $5M jackpot,
b. 25% believed we would either strike the top or second prize, and,
c. 25% believed we would strike one of the smaller prizes.

Group C has gotten it right.

The tickets will be placed at the pantry for those who want to have a look at them. The winning tickets will be encashed and we'll see what to do with the $80 we have won. Stay tuned.
