Have you ever sat on the toilet bowl, stood in the shower or stoned in your office cubicle to daydream about the awesome things you can do with a few million dollars?
Your dreams may come true with this year's Hong Bao draw. Come 27 February, a top prize of $12 million is up for grabs.
So here are the top 8 outlets to buy Toto from in terms of the number of times top prize-winning tickets have been sold from these outlets:
1. 7-Eleven Yishun - Block 102 Yishun Avenue 5 #01-137 (30 wins)
2. NTUC Fairprice Tanjong Pagar - Block 5 Tanjong Pagar Road Tanjong Pagar Plaza #01-01 (20 wins)
3. Seah Koon Huat - Block 116 Bukit Merah View #01-233 (20 wins)
4. Singapore Pools Hougang N1 Branch - Block 106 Hougang Avenue 1 #01-1209/1211 (19 wins)
5. Ng Teo Guan Self Service - Block 301 Ubi Avenue 1 #01-251 (19 wins)
6. Tan Wee Fong Trading - Block 24 Bendemeer Road #01-529 (18 wins)
7. Fatt Chye Heng Trading - Block 7 Hougang Avenue 3 #01-48 (17 wins)
8. Teo Sook Cheng Agency - Block 293 Yishun Street 22 #01-225 (17 wins)
If anyone has ever taken a lesson on statistics, you will know that the chances of winning at each outlet is the same. It's just that at a certain point in time, some people thought that these 8 places were the most 'lucky' outlets and more people bought from them. A larger proportion of tickets sold there equals a higher probability for those outlets to produce top winners.
But psychologically, it is still more "shiok" to buy from these outlets and certainly helps with our daydreaming. Good luck to all and 'Huat Ah!'.
