Singapore Sweep Prize Structure
The cash prize for a 7-digit Singapore Sweep game ranges from a minimum of SG$ 1,000 to a maximum of SG$ 2.3 million. With 3.5 million number combinations on sale, each ticket costs a minimum of SG$ 3.
Although it may be quite difficult to win the top prizes, it is not hard at all to win a prize as Singapore Sweep also has two-digit winning numbers known as “2 Digit Delight Prizes” where winners each get SG$ 6 if the last two digits of your 7-digit number matches any of the 9 two-digit winning numbers drawn. In fact, there are 315,000 two-digit winning numbers available for every draw that only takes place on the first Wednesday of every month.
