How Would You Plan S$10 Million If You Win TOTO in Singapore?

Singapore's TOTO lottery has gone three consecutive rounds without a jackpot winner, pushing the prize pool up to S$10 million. To win this jackpot, long lines formed early outside.

Back in March this year, someone placed just a S$1 bet and ended up sharing a S$13.4 million prize with two others, sparking widespread envy. On April 28, the TOTO draw revealed a first prize of S$12,929,450, which was again shared between two winners.

What can you do with S$10 million in Singapore?

You could use the money to significantly improve your quality of life. House, car, education and better life…

Examples:

First, you can spend S$2 million for a better condominium

Second, S$1 million can get you a $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ along with the Certificate of Entitlement (COE)

Third, how about enrolling your child in a prestigious school like Singapore American School (SAS), which costs S$586,000 from Grade 1 to high school graduation

Fourth, use a portion for diversified investments, such as life insurance, bonds, hedge funds, or REITs

Lastly, spend a few hundred thousand for a better lifestyle: hire a top-tier domestic helper, travel overseas, buy designer clothing, or luxury goods $Hermes International SA(HESAF)$

If you lack investment experience, simply putting 1 million in a savings account or fixed deposits and living off the interest could be enough for daily expenses

Questions to discuss:

How would you choose to allocate S$10 million if you won the TOTO jackpot?

Does this kind of sudden wealth truly lead to a better life, or are there hidden risks without proper financial planning?

    If I won Toto $10million, I will donate $1million to 3 of my tax deduction charity organisation. But this year, I will add another charity organisation as beginning of the year, I overlooked to top up my CPF MA. 🤦‍♀️😱😓😭[Sad][Facepalm][Cry][OMG].


    After charity donation, I am left with $6million. I will park them into high interest saving account n avoid any risky investments. Why I do so? I already have high risk investment in my portfolio. Hence, not good to pull all eggs into a basket.


    I will get onto the most luxury cruise.. Regent Seven Seas Cruise. $1.3 million.

    If I won S$10 million from TOTO, my first step would be to secure a stable and comfortable lifestyle. I’d spend about S$2 million on a quality condominium and another S$1 million on a Tesla, including the COE and future car-related costs. These give both practical value and long-term comfort.

    I’d then invest around S$3 million in a diversified portfolio—REITs, ETFs, life insurance, and hedge funds—to grow and protect the wealth. For my child, I’d set aside around S$600,000 for a top-tier education like at the Singapore American School, which I believe is a worthy long-term investment.

    The remaining S$3.4 million would support a balanced lifestyle. I’d keep some in fixed deposits for security and use the rest for travel, a domestic helper, and occasional luxuries. I’d also work with a financial advisor to ensure smart decisions, knowing that sudden wealth without planning can lead to regrets.

    [Happy]We buy TOTO because losing $1 is nothing, but winning $10million is life changing. Winning S$10 million by a S$1 bet ticket would be a sign that my life is due for a good change. I am an average good fellow so I will gift a portion of the winnings to charitable organizations that improve others’ lives. The rest will be used to improve my family’s living conditions, learning better life skills like financial planning and philosophy, and better quality leisure time. I am very shocked by @Tiger_SG
    article here that a Tesla car plus COE costs S$1 million! Thanks @Tiger_SG @icycrystal

    🌟🌟🌟The odds  of winning a SGD 10 million in Toto is 1 in a million!   In other words winning it is highly unlikely.  However if I have such a good fortune, it is certainly a life changing event.

    Managing SGD 10 million wisely requires discipline and a well structured plan.

    First up, I would like to pay off all my debts including my housing loan, set up a trust fund for my children to ensure generational wealth.   I would like also to set aside a portion for charitable causes such as helping the poor and the needy.

    I would also like to build a diversified portfolio that will include Equities, Bonds, Real Estate in order to generate passive income for the long term.

    Finally I would like to go on a round the world cruise,  building memories that will last a lifetime.

    Life is too short!  I would seize every moment and make every heartbeat count.

    if I win Toto 10 million, the 1st thing to do is buy a condominium for sure. Property investment in SG is basically a stable and good investment. The rest of the money I will distribute half for the family members and another half will be used as a capital for business. [Cool]

    I will definitely buy a condominium as prices of property only increases in Singapore. This will make a good investment and also a form of diversification. Definitely no cars as they are depreciating assets. I also don’t have kids to worry about. My current life insurance are already adequate but I might increase coverage. I will set some money for travelling but less so for luxury goods and designer clothing as I value experience more than material comforts. I will put the remaining amount in hedge funds mainly for the sake of diversification and also potentially higher returns. Such sudden wealths are great to boosting lifestyle but also important to manage well and not get into the habit of splurging. But, I don’t buy Toto [Facepalm] @DiAngel @Wayneqq @SPOT_ON @HelenJanet @LuckyPiggie @Kaixiang @Universe宇宙 @Fenger1188 @Success88 @rL come join

    With 10 Millions SGD, I will divide it across multiple assets:

    1) 2 M for buying my own private condo.

    2) 2 M into high interest savings accounts across all eligible banks.

    3) 2 M into Singapore Savings Bonds and Singapore T bills.

    4) 2 M into money market funds and derivatives.

    5) 2 M into equities, with small amount into crypto. Also, I will top up CPF to FRS sum.

    I will continue working full time or at most, downgrade my work to part time role. I don't think I can just retire and do nothing at home lol.

    如果我真的中了TOTO头奖,拿到1000万新元,老实说,一开始一定是兴奋到睡不着。但冷静下来后,我觉得最重要的不是怎么花,而是怎么守得住。突如其来的财富,的确能改善生活,但没有理财规划,真的可能反而带来麻烦。


    我的第一步会是“止步”,不急着动用这笔钱。我会找一位值得信赖的独立理财顾问,帮我做资产配置。大概会把70%用来做长期投资,包括房地产信托、指数基金和一些保守的本地债券,每年争取4-5%的回报,让钱本身去生钱。


    再来,我会把20%用于提升家庭生活质量,比如换个住得更舒服的房子,给父母一点养老金,也给孩子设立教育基金,确保他们未来不必为学费烦恼。


    剩下的10%,才是“梦想与自由”的部分:去旅行、学一项新技能,甚至尝试创业。留点空间给人生的好奇心,也很重要。


    对我来说,1000万能带来更好的生活,但前提是你要有清晰的目标和风险意识,否则一夜暴富可能变成一场短暂的幻梦。

    If I won I will invest in property in SG. Perhaps condominium SG space is small and when you invest in property is always earn money in future. I also will invest and open more budget laundry shop around Singapore island. Cos Singapore is very humid city and when come to Dec will have a lot of rain fall. So many people will done their laundry during that period @Tiger_SG @MHh @HelenJanet @SPOT_ON @koolgal @SR050321

    Don't bet on Toto. Even with sudden wealth, expect lifestyle will be pretty much the same with larger amount in giving, spending, saving and investing.
