Long queues at Singapore Pools outlets have been spotted over the weekend and Monday (Jan. 10) as the Toto top prize is estimated to hit S$8.6 million.
There was no Group 1 winner for last Friday's (Jan. 7) draw, which had a prize of S$5 million.
The top prize for the next draw has since snowballed to over S$8 million, prompted some extra long queues all over the island as punters hoped to strike it big.
The draw will be taking place later today (Jan. 10).
