PETALING JAYA: Two lucky winners shared the RM23.1mil Toto 4D Jackpot 1 on Chinese New Year eve, announces STM Lottery Sdn Bhd.
In a statement on Monday (Feb 10), the company said the larger share went to a saleswoman from Sabah who won RM20.9mil with a System Play ticket.
"I did not have any specific numbers to buy, so I just took the car registration numbers from vehicles parked in my neighbourhood and accumulated 18 sets of numbers to bet because 18 is the luckiest number during CNY," said the winner.
She found out about her win on the first day of Chinese New Year (Jan 29), describing the prize as the best thing that could happen in her life.
The 54-year-old said she planned to share part of her winnings with her family and invest the rest.
Another winner, a 57-year-old designer from Selangor, secured RM2.2mil with an i-System 20 ticket.
"I must thank the customer service assistant who advised me to bet on a Special Draw day; otherwise, I would have missed the opportunity," he said.
His winning numbers, 2896 and 6238, had been his long-time bets among his 20 sets of 4D numbers, he added.
