33-year-old from Selangor wins RM14.6 mil Sports Toto jackpot using girlfriend's MyKad number
The man revealed he had been playing the same set of numbers — 4, 8, 11, 18, 20, and 29 — for the past three years.
The secret? They were inspired by both his and his girlfriend's MyKad digits.
'I've always stuck to these numbers and would even buy eight draws in advance,' STM Lottery quoted him as saying on Thursday (July 10).
The sentimental combo paid off big time. When he saw the results last Sunday, he was so shocked he couldn't sleep all night.
The next day, he quietly made his way to STM Lottery's office to claim his jaw-dropping RM14,628,701.20 prize.
'I didn't tell anyone at first. I needed time to process the fact that I'd just become a multi-millionaire overnight,' he admitted.
So, what's next for the lucky winner? No wild spending sprees here. He plans to channel his fortune into 'smart investments' to secure his future.

Palm slips after two-day gain on profit-taking
JAKARTA: Malaysian palm oil futures snapped two sessions of gains on Tuesday on profit-taking. The benchmark palm oil contract for September delivery on the Bursa Malaysia Derivatives Exchange lost RM14, or 0.33 per cent, to RM4,216 (US$991.30) a metric ton by 0233 GMT. Dalian's most-active soyoil contract increased 0.23 per cent, while its palm oil contract gained 0.48 per cent. Soyoil prices on the Chicago Board of Trade were slightly down at 0.04 per cent. Palm oil tracks price movements of rival edible oils, as it competes for a share of the global vegetable oils market. Oil prices edged down on Tuesday as the market digested US President Donald Trump's 50-day deadline for Russia to end the Ukraine war and avoid sanctions on buyers of its oil, while worries continued to linger over Trump's trade tariffs. Weaker crude oil futures make palm a less attractive option for biodiesel feedstock. The ringgit, palm's currency of trade, slightly weakened 0.07 per cent against the dollar, making the commodity cheaper for buyers holding foreign currencies. India's palm oil imports jumped to an 11-month high in June as refiners ramped up purchases due to a price discount compared to rival soyoil and sunflower oil, and to replenish depleted inventories. Palm oil may test resistance at RM4,257 per metric ton, a break above which could lead to a gain to RM4,295, Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said. Asian shares climbed and the dollar held gains on Tuesday as trade talks remained in the spotlight in a week that will see key readings on US inflation and bank earnings.
