To win the top prize (jackpot) in the Toto lottery, a player must correctly select 6 numbers out of a pool of 49 numbers that match the 6 winning numbers drawn. Additionally, there is an "additional" number drawn from the remaining numbers, which is used for secondary prize categories.

Number of Winning Numbers to Win Toto

• To win the jackpot (Group 1 prize) : Match all 6 numbers drawn (no need to match the additional number).
• For other prize groups:
  • Match 5 numbers plus the additional number (Group 2)
  • Match 5 numbers (Group 3)
  • Match 4 numbers plus the additional number (Group 4)
  • Match 4 numbers (Group 5)
  • Match 3 numbers plus the additional number (Group 6)
  • Match 3 numbers (Group 7)

Summary

• A player picks 6 numbers from 1 to 49.
• Matching all 6 winning numbers wins the jackpot.
• Matching fewer numbers with or without the additional number wins smaller prizes.

Thus, the key number to win the Toto jackpot is 6 matching numbers from 1 to 49.
