Malaysian man strikes $4m lottery after betting on his, girlfriend's IC numbers for 3 years, Malaysia News
For the past three years, a man from Selangor, Malaysia, has been placing lottery bets with the same set of numbers. His persistence paid off last Sunday (July 6), when he struck a jackpot of RM14.6 million (S$4.3 million) on a Toto game, Malaysia's gambling operator STM Lottery said in a press release. The 33-year-old project manager revealed the digits are a combination of his and his girlfriend's identity card numbers, which he started using after meeting his girlfriend three years ago. "I always play Lotto games with this winning set of numbers, 4, 8, 11, 18, 20 and 29, and I would buy eight draws in advance," he was quoted as saying. The "personal connection" made the win "feel even more surreal", said the punter. The man added that he had a sleepless after checking the results last Sunday and has not told anyone about the news as he needed time to process the overwhelming prize amount, STM lottery said in a press release. The overnight multi-millionaire intends to use the jackpot winnings for investments. [[nid:688514]]
