iToto System 12
This is a variation of the Quick-Pick System 12 bet with one difference: The bet charges and the prize money are split into 28 shares (shared with 27 others).
Note that, however, this does not mean that the prize money will be shared with only 27 others because there may still be other valid bet types on the same set of numbers purchased by others.

iToto System 12 | 12 x random numbers | $33 (=$924/28) |
Group Toto
A Group Toto is simply any Toto bet that is split evenly between 2 to 10 tickets. All tickets share the cost evenly and can redeem the share of the prize evenly. This is useful for a group of friends who want to share the cost and prize, and it helps avoid the situation where any one friend will be able to claim all shares of the prize.
Group Toto is only available in physical outlets.
