He walked away with RM14,818,901.35 in prize money, along with a System Play bonus of RM336, which he collected at the STM Lottery head office.
PETALING JAYA: A 52-year-old property manager from Selangor has struck gold, winning nearly RM15 million in the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 after staking on the registration numbers of his old cars.
STM Lottery Sdn Bhd said the man clinched the prize in the May 6 draw after placing a RM6 System 3 bet on the numbers “9186” and “4828”, which he said carried deep sentimental value.
“I have been betting on these numbers for over 10 years because they remind me of my old cars and the memories attached to them. I never expected both numbers would strike in the same draw,” he said.
He walked away with RM14,818,901.35 in prize money, along with a System Play bonus of RM336, which he collected at the STM Lottery head office.
The winner admitted he had often come across media reports of Toto Jackpot winners and once questioned their authenticity, particularly during festive periods.
“Whenever I read about jackpot winners, I used to ask myself whether these stories were really true. Now that I have personally experienced it, I can say the winning stories are indeed real,” he said.
He said he plans to reward himself with a branded car and invest part of his winnings in property, while managing the windfall prudently for long-term financial security.
STM Lottery said the total jackpot for the May 6 draw stood at RM16.8 million, with the remaining RM1,975,853.50 won by a Kuala Lumpur player through the i-System method.
The winning numbers were “5396”, “9186” or “4828”.
