IPOH: A former cleaner is planning to perform the umrah and haj after becoming an overnight millionaire under the 96th Bank Simpanan Nasional (BSN) Premium Savings Certificate (SSP) special draw.
Mohd Nazri Abd Wazir, 61, from Parit, said he initially did not believe it when he received a call from BSN informing him that he was the winner of the RM1mil prize money, reported Bernama.
The bachelor, who is the third in a family of seven siblings, started saving with BSN in 2003 for emergency purposes.
“Other than planning to go on the umrah and haj with my 84-year-old mother, I will also use the prize money for my daily expenses,” he said when met after receiving a mock cheque at a ceremony which was also attended by Perak BSN director Mazlan Mat Jalil here yesterday.
“At first, I just tried my luck in the lucky draw ... for a certificate I bought last year.”
He said he decided to save under the BSN SSP because he was attracted to the prizes as well as the high dividends offered to depositors.
