$10 Million Toto!!! =p lol..

Apparently all my friends are crazy over this $10million toto!! A lof of my friends' facebook status are about toto!! =p lol. Since so many people are so crazy about it.. Let me share this reading that I read from The Straits Times. =]


Toto has been played in Singapore since 1968. This is what happens before and during a draw:

  1. Six officers, including an external auditor, oversee every draw. All draw equipment are sealed and locked, and the key and access card to the draw room are held separately by two officers.
  2. First, a computer program is run to randomly select the machine that will pick the numbers and a back-up one, as well as the respective sets of balls for these machines. Only one machine is used for each draw, but the back-up is always on standby in case of breakdowns.
  3. Next, the draw team retrieves the selected equipment from the sealed and locked room. Draw balls are individually weighed to ensure that they all stand an equal chance of being drawn.
  4. The balls are then loaded into the draw machine and its back-up, in sequence, in the draw hall before members of the public.
  5. At the draw time - for tonight's draw, it is 9.30pm - a member of the public is invited to press the button to start the proceedings.
  6. The winning numbers are announced as the balls are drawn.
  7. After the draw is done, all equipment are checked, then locked and resealed away in the room until the next draw.

Good luck to those who buying TOTO!! =] HUAT ARH!!! xD lol..
