If you didn’t know, bitcoin mining at home is possible, but largely it is a modern lottery game. As of 2025, if you’re lucky and hit the block, your reward is 3.125 BTC = ~S$400,000.
As a game of chance, expect thousands of years to find a bitcoin block. That’s still way easier than striking TOTO Jackpot, but much harder than hitting 4D 1st Prize.
How long?
| Game | Simple assumptions | Expected time to hit once |
|---|---|---|
| Solo Bitcoin block | 4.8 TH/s | ~4,300 years |
| TOTO Jackpot | 2 draws/week | ~134,000 years |
| 4D 1st Prize | 3 draws/week | ~64 years |
That’s it. That’s the vibe. Use these as rough, friendly yardsticks to feel how “hard” each game is.
That’s all. Keep it fun, spend only what you’re happy to lose, and don’t mine (or punt) with money you need for kopi and kaya toast.
