KUALA LUMPUR: A self-employed Malaysian man has donated his entire RM2.15 million Da Ma Cai lottery winnings to his former primary school, fulfilling a vow made during ancestral prayers.
According to China Press, his lucky streak began with a small 1+3D bet that earned him RM60, including a RM50 note he tucked into his wallet and forgot.
While later praying at home, he felt a deep emotional calling and pledged to donate any future lottery winnings to his school.

He placed a 3+3D Bonus bet using ‘140’ and its reverse ‘410’, and selected the Chinese zodiac sign ‘Tiger’ to symbolise his gratitude to his mentors.
To his amazement, the dmcGO app later revealed the winning combination as ‘410 + 140’ with the zodiac ‘Tiger’, securing him RM2,151,664.
Honouring a promise to his late grandfather and great-grandfather, both former educators, he donated the full amount to his alma mater in a gesture of gratitude.
