What a draw contains
| Prize | Numbers |
|---|---|
| 1st | 1 |
| 2nd | 1 |
| 3rd | 1 |
| Special | 10 (13 cells, 3 shown as ----) |
| Consolation | 10 |
Every pool has its own draw number
Each pool keeps its own draw numbers and dates. Magnum, Da Ma Cai, Sports Toto, Sabah 88 and Cash Sweep draw on Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday at 7pm, and Singapore on the same days at 6.30pm; GD Lotto and 9 Lotto draw daily (9 Lotto at 7.30pm), with special draws announced separately.
How to check
Look at the top three first, then Special and Consolation. A Big bet needs all 23 numbers checked; Small only the top three; 4A–4E only their own prize.
Worked example: Magnum, 28 October 2026 (draw 442/26)
| Prize | Numbers |
|---|---|
| 1st | 8243 |
| 2nd | 9987 |
| 3rd | 2051 |
| Special | 7092, 1947, 8380, 2148, 3797, 1890, 2014, 6959, 7338, 0416 (three more cells show ----) |
| Consolation | 8799, 1740, 8595, 7278, 5184, 8324, 2912, 7630, 9153, 6598 |
Say you hold 2912 on Big: it is a Consolation, paying RM80 per RM1 on STAR4D; on Small it pays nothing.
Common mistakes
---- is not a number but a cell that is not drawn, so Special really has 10 numbers.
Live numbers shown during a draw give way to the official result.
FAQ
When do results come out?
Singapore draws first at 6.30pm, the Malaysian pools at 7pm and 9 Lotto at 7.30pm. Official results are usually all out between 7.30pm and 8.30pm.
Why did two pools draw the same number?
Each pool draws on its own. With 23 numbers each, two pools share at least one number on about 5% of nights, so it happens often.
