Singapore Pools will be conducting its 2016 Toto Hongbao Draw (3137/2016), with a jackpot prize of $12 million, on Feb 19.

The draw will start at 9.30pm, at the Singapore Pools Building at 210 Middle Road.

Sales for the draw will start on Feb 4 from 6.10pm at all Singapore Pools branches and authorised retailers. Ticket sales will close at 9pm on Feb 19.

Last year, two people split the $12 million jackpot after picking all six of the winning numbers in the Toto Hongbao Draw.

Each winner took home $6,033,860.50 - the biggest individual windfall in the draw's history.

The previous best was in 2007, when two people shared the $10.5 million prize.

The highest recorded jackpot since the annual draw started in 2000 was $12.8 million in 2002, which was shared among nine winners.

The retail outlets with the most Group 1 prize winners last year include Delisia Agency and Lee Eng Trading Store.
