STM Lottery Sdn Bhd (formerly Sports Toto Malaysia Sdn. Bhd) had announced that two lucky winners from Penang and Selangor won the record-breaking RM97.75 million Supreme Toto 6/58 Jackpot, which is the largest lottery jackpot in the Malaysian history on March 30, 2022.
The 41-year-old Penangite, who is a machinery supplier, won the bigger portion of the jackpot through System 10 ticket, totalling a whopping RM95,036,321.25 and an additional bonus of RM173,152.00.
He told STM Lottery that he had been unable to sleep well for two consecutive nights since he found out that he was the winner.
He said he only started playing Supreme Toto 6/58 when the jackpot hit RM70 million.
“Because of the social media hype, all of my friends were talking about it so I thought I should also try my luck.
“I bet on System 10 with my own combination of numbers which I got inspirations from the ages and birth dates of my family members, and I would change the combination after a few draws by replacing some of the numbers.
“My set of lucky numbers – 5, 12, 20, 22, 29 and 41 was the set of numbers I bet on for the last few draws before I won,” he said.
The winner said when he found out that he won the jackpot, he and his wife were both in disbelief.
“We had to literally slap each other to make sure that we were not dreaming,” he said, adding that he was still unable to accept the fact that he is now a multi-millionaire.
The winner said he wanted to use the winnings to pay off his debts and donate to charity and he would only think about how to use the newfound wealth later.
Another lucky winner from Selangor, who partially won the jackpot through EZ-Bet System 15, walked away with RM2,715,322.65 and an additional bonus of RM12,289.20.
The second largest jackpot in Malaysia was also won by a Penangite who struck the RM69.6 million Grand Toto 6/63 jackpot on Sept 13, 2017.
