PETALING JAYA: A 52-year-old man from Selangor has won RM14.8mil in the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 with his old car registration numbers.
The man said he had been placing bets on the same pair of numbers – 9186 and 4828 – for over a decade.
His persistence paid off after he placed a System 3 bet with a RM6 stake with the numbers on May 6.
"I have been betting on these numbers for over 10 years because they remind me of my old cars and the memories attached to them.
"I never expected both numbers would strike in the same draw," said the man who works as a property manager, according to a statement from STM Lottery on Monday (May 11).
The man won a total of RM14,818,901.35 and a system play bonus of RM336.
He added that he plans to reward himself with a nice car and invest part of his winnings in property for long-term financial security.
STM Lottery said the remaining RM1,975,853.50 from the RM16.8mil jackpot was won by a winner from Kuala Lumpur with the i-System method.
