What is iTOTO System 12 mean?
An iTOTO bet divides a Quick Pick System 12 entry into 28 units.
The cost of a System 12 entry is S$924, the most expensive single bet for the Toto lottery.
A typical S$1 bet allows the punter to pick six numbers out of 49.
However, the System 12 entry picks 12 numbers at a time, making the odds of winning higher. Thus, the cost of betting is also increased.
A S$924 iTOTO System 12 entry can be split equally into 28 units, with each unit costing S$33 — to add some variation to the type of bets punters can make.
This also makes a System 12 bet more affordable.
However, in the event where any iTOTO System 12 entry wins the prize, the prize amount will also be divided 28 ways.
The total amount each winner gets will depend on how many units they bought.
For the recent draw, the winning tickets were sold at only 24 different locations. This could mean that at least one punter bought more than one unit of the iToto System 12 at the same location.
Or, it could also mean that only 24 of the 28 units in the iTOTO System 12 bet were sold.
