Two friends hit over RM15mil Magnum 4D jackpot on a shared ticket

KUCHING: What started as a casual decision between two long-time friends from Sarawak to try their luck with the Magnum 4D Jackpot has turned into the story of a lifetime.
Their jointly purchased System Play-10 ticket won them a staggering RM15,460,492 from Magnum 4D Jackpot 1.
One ticket, two lucky winners, a perfect example of how teamwork and a little instinct can sometimes lead to life-changing surprises.
The duo are not frequent players. Instead, they've always played mindfully, only joining in when the Jackpot amount reaches an exciting peak.
This time, the amount was just too tempting to ignore. Spotting the high Jackpot, they decided to go for it together. 'We usually only play when we see the Jackpot is high,' one of them shared. 'Sharing the cost makes it more manageable and still gives us the thrill.'
Each friend contributed five numbers to form the full set of 10. None of the numbers were Lucky Picks, birthdates, car plates, or anything symbolic. It was just pure gut feeling and a little trust in luck. Their story stands out not just because of the prize amount, but because of the way they played — responsibly, thoughtfully and as a team.
'We've always believed that if you play, play within your means,' one of them shared. 'Pooling funds keeps it fun, affordable and no one overspends.'
The winning moment was just as unforgettable. Watching the live draw separately, each noticed that two of their selected numbers had already appeared in the Special Prize category. It felt like a good sign, but nothing too dramatic just yet.
Then came the big moment when one of their numbers emerged as the Third Prize, followed by the second number taking First Prize.
'We both just shouted over the phone! It felt surreal. We replayed the results over and over again. Neither of us could sleep for days,' one of the friends recalled with excitement.
Now, with their winnings, both friends have exciting plans ahead. A long-awaited overseas holiday with their spouses is at the top of the list, especially meaningful since it will be a first for some of them.
One of the winners also shared that he now has the confidence and financial boost to finally move forward with buying a home, a goal that once felt out of reach.

Meet Malaysia's latest pop yeh-yeh group LEV, a group of three unleashes Malaysia's own-styled song in "Aku Bukan Bosan"

New music group, LEV, has released their debut single titled 'Aku Bukan Bosan', which is now available on all digital streaming platforms. The trio who got together in 2022 have aims following the footsteps of the Malaysian top pop yeh-yeh band Masdo. They are also singing under the Empayar Masdo label and are also now considered the group Masdo's top protege. Masdo are currently Malaysia's top pop yeh-yeh band since the heydays of the 60s and they made an excellent foray into Indonesia. Just like Masdo, LEV are presenting their music based on Malaysia's 60s pop genre and composed according to current tastes. LEV consists of three members: Leo Azman (vocalist, composer, and lyricist), Riz (guitarist) and Kecik (bass player,) and they are aiming to make a big impression in the Malaysian music industry. 'Aku Bukan Bosan' was entirely composed by Leo Azman, while production, mixing and mastering were completed by Andi, a member of the Indonesian band Fourtwnty. The recording process was carried out at Bijanfx Studio, involving five draft phases over two weeks before the final version was finalized. This song raises the theme of the sacrifices of men who are far from their families to earn a living. It touches on the issue of trust in long-distance relationships and the misunderstandings that often arise due to time and communication constraints. According to Andi, as the producer, this song brings a narrative that is close to the reality of society. 'We want this song to represent the voices of those who are rarely heard. Not everyone is good at expressing themselves, but music can speak for them,' he said. Before the official launch, LEV introduced this song to the public through several performances in conjunction with the 10-Year Journey to Masdo, which took place in several locations around Selangor & Kuala Lumpur. The performances served as an initial platform to introduce LEV's musical identity to a wider audience. The launch of 'Aku Bukan Bosan' also opens a new chapter for LEV as a newcomer group that presents works based on reality, without excessive dramatic elements. With a simple musical approach and lyrics based on real experiences, LEV is seen as one of the new names that deserves attention. AKU BUKAN BOSAN (quick notes - trivia) 1. "Aku Bukan Bosan" -- Composer & Lyricist: Leo Azman 2. This single is the debut work from LEV since their establishment on May 13, 2022. This song highlights the story of the sacrifice of a man who was forced to leave his family temporarily to find a livelihood to support his loved ones. It is an expression of the heart that asks for trust to be given, not doubt. Not because of looking for another love, but because of the determination to ensure that every family's dream can be fulfilled. The group's message for fans: "For the fighters out there, continue your struggle. Never give up. And for the wives, trust your husbands. If messages are not returned, if calls are not picked up — know that they are fighting, not bored." 3. The lyrics of this song are inspired by the reality of men who are forced to stay away from their families to find a livelihood, not because of boredom, but because of responsibility.

Jackpot win fulfills longtime promise

KUALA LUMPUR: What began as an occasional ticket purchase turned into a deeply emotional moment for a Magnum 4D Jackpot winner, who now sees his lucky winning not only as a financial blessing, but the fulfillment of a long-held promise to the woman who stood by his side through everything. The recent Magnum 4D Jackpot winner, who won over RM11mil, never imagined hitting such a life-changing prize. He played occasionally, inspired by stories of small plays leading to big winnings. With no expectations, just a quiet hope, he placed his bet. What made this ticket different was a whispered tip from a friend, who urged him to speak to a Feng Shui master. The advice he received from the master was strange but unforgettable: 'Pay attention to numbers if you visit your cousin's house soon.' That curious and cryptic message ended up shaping the numbers that would soon change his life. On the night of the draw, the family sat down for dinner and watched the live draw results together. Disbelief filled the room when his numbers first appeared under the Special Prize - and then among the top three prizes. The room erupted in joy, his wife, who had been skeptical of him playing, couldn't hold back her excitement. But this was more than just a win -it was a moment years in the making. The winner had long carried a quiet regret - he had never taken his wife overseas, never even given her the chance to hold a passport of her own. Through life's challenges, she stood by him, never complaining. Now, with this win, he finally gets to rewrite that chapter. Not just with money, but also with a meaningful experience they'll share and remember forever. Part of the winnings will go towards settling their loans, bringing them closer to financial peace. But for this winner, the most priceless part isn't the numbers in his bank account – it's knowing he can finally give his wife the kind of memories he always dreamt of sharing with her. 'Beyond the excitement of winning, what truly moves us are the stories we're privileged to be part of — stories of people holding onto hope, keeping promises and sharing love,' said a Magnum 4D spokesperson. 'We remain committed to creating these chances for joy, no matter how big or small. And no, you don't always need a Feng Shui master to give you hints. Just stay open to number inspirations around you. Miraculous wins do happen and next time, it might just be yours.'
