SINGAPORE, June 4 -- Singapore-owned lottery company Singapore Pools will launch a new fixed-bet game called Toto Match with its first draw on June 12.

The game is being introduced in response to public demand for a fixed-payout model in the popular Toto lottery, according to several Singapore-based news agencies.
