There are two ways to play the Lottery in Singapore: buying your ticket at a local shop or online. While the former is the traditional way, many Singaporeans have been patronizing local retailers for years. The latter is a relatively new way of buying tickets. This method is a popular one among younger people who are more tech-savvy.
Purchasing multiple tickets in a single draw increases the chances of winning the main prize, but there are factors to consider. For instance, buying three tickets a week increases the odds of winning the jackpot by one in 14 million. However, playing all the numbers will lower your chances to one in 54. You must also keep in mind that if you don’t win the jackpot in four consecutive draws, the jackpot rolls down.
Lottery Singapore is free to play, and can be played at retail outlets, online, or even through a mobile app. Players choose six numbers from one to 49 and check the results online to see if their numbers are in the winning combination. If you are lucky enough to match all six numbers, you will win the jackpot prize.
