PETALING JAYA: While four lucky punters walked away as multi-millionaires sharing the country’s biggest lottery payout of RM121mil by Sports Toto last week, another man who took advantage of the event with a cheeky plea on Facebook is celebrating his “jackpot” win with a windfall of a different kind.

Social activist and philanthropist Kuan Chee Heng, popularly known as Uncle Kentang, is ecstatic after his post on Facebook urging the lucky lottery winners to each donate an ambulance to his charity led to a “win” of two more being added to his fleet.
