One of the jackpot winners was Mr Lee Ah Choy, 75, who had also won $100 on July 8.
The repeat winner was all smiles when he collected his prize last night.
"Even though there are two other jackpot winners, I am happy to share my joy with them," said the elated Mr Lee.
"I plan to save some, spend some and give some away," said Mr Lee, when asked about his plans to spend the cash prize.
Mr Rahimi Assar was another repeat winner.

The chauffeur, who turned 55 last month, said, "It is such as blessing for me this Hari Raya.
"It's also a double blessing for me as the prize money is a belated birthday gift to myself."
