KUALA LUMPUR: The Chinese New Year (CNY) “Ong” vibes arrived in spectacular fashion for a Magnum 4D player who scored a whopping RM15,365,814 Magnum 4D Jackpot win on Feb 15, all thanks to a totally spontaneous ticket purchase.
The lucky winner, a long-time player of over 20 years, wasn’t even planning to buy a ticket that day. He had just popped by to Desa Aman Puri, Selayang, Selangor to grab a drink, but fate had other plans. Seeing a parking spot right in front of a Magnum 4D outlet, he decided to go in and grab an RM6 System Play ticket with his favourite meaningful numbers.
That casual, “why not?” moment changed his life forever. The good news came through a family member after the results were announced. They told him that the numbers he always played, 9637 and 5722, had finally come out as the Second and Third prizes.
The ticket, however, was still at home, while he was celebrating CNY in his hometown, leaving him in suspense and unable to verify the win. He had to travel back just to check it for himself. When he finally scanned it, calm turned to sheer excitement.
“Talk about luck meeting timing. This is the best CNY ang pow I’ve ever received,” he said, already dreaming of a more relaxed retirement and easier home and car commitments.
Weeks earlier, Magnum 4D had already celebrated its first Jackpot win of 2026 on Jan 7 at Sri Rampai, Setapak, where a 65-year-old retiree claimed a massive 4D Jackpot 1 prize of RM21,883,063. He played using a permutation play with numbers 7003 and 9200, numbers he swears were “hot” from past draws. A selective player, he only participates when the jackpot climbs above RM20mil, and this win gave him a joyful boost as he stepped into retirement. “Over RM37mil in 4D Jackpot 1 wins have already been handed out this year.
“What a fantastic way to kick off 2026 and celebrate CNY.
“These wins are a perfect reminder that ‘Ong’ moments can happen anytime for anyone and we’re thrilled to see our players’ excitement and joy as the year begins on such a high note,” said a spokesperson from Magnum 4D.
