When he launched the app, he was surprised to find out that the app was created and sold by Tan Kin Lian & Associates, a software and consultancy firm run by presidential hopeful Tan Kin Lian.
Mr Lee, 34, who contacted TODAY, said: "Even though betting on TOTO and 4D is legal, what is legally right may not be morally right. Given the fact that Mr Tan is running for presidency, he should aim for some moral high ground, especially with public unhappiness over gambling."
TODAY found another similar app, OneInAMillion - also created by Mr Tan's company - in the iPhone App store.
When contacted by TODAY, Mr Tan stressed that the apps were part of "more than 10 apps" that were developed by his company.
"This concern (that these apps will encourage gambling) is exaggerated ... if some people like to try my app to get their unique numbers, I will be delighted. But I do not think that it will be addictive, and I certainly do not encourage them to be addicted to any form of gambling. But as a pastime and fun, it is all right."
