A 77-year-old retired carpenter from Kuala Lumpur won the RM13.6 million Sports Toto 4D Jackpot 1 on May 3, 2023 by betting on the car registration numbers of his sons’ newly bought vehicles.
The lucky winner told STM Lottery Sdn. Bhd. when collecting his winnings that he never missed playing the Toto games although his friends used to laugh at him for wasting money.
“My friends always said that I am playing a game that I won’t win, but to me, I have never missed a single draw because I feel that as long as I play, I still stand a chance to win.
“True enough, I have finally won the jackpot by spending only RM2 per draw,” he said.
The winner said he would always bet on his children’s car registration numbers but he did not win anything until the two sons recently both changed to a new car each.
“I won because of their new cars with car registration numbers – 2425 and 2085. This pair of new numbers has brought me luck,” he added.
His RM2 ticket had won him RM13,581,288.80 in prize money and he said he would share the winnings with his two sons who brought him luck.
