Sarawakian wins jackpot of nearly RM29 million   

KUCHING: A 46-year-old salesman from Sarawak becomes the luckiest winner, when he walked away with nearly RM29 million of Toto 4D Jackpot 1 on December 26, 2023.

Sports Toto said that the man has the pair of winning numbers “7871” and “9736” which is a bank note number that he kept in a red packet for good luck.

“The man initially did not plan to buy numbers during special draw but luckily he changed his mind and drove to a Toto outlet after lunch, otherwise, he would not have won the jackpot,” it said in a press release.

It added that although the salesman has become a multi-millionaire, he is still young for early retirement, and he would continue to work and live a normal life.

“He would share the winnings with his family and allocate the balance for investment,” Sports Toto added.

The salesman bought a System 4 ticket which won him a whopping RM28,995,296.85 and an additional RM672 as System Play bonus.

In the meantime, there were also two i-System winners from Sarawak and Selangor who won RM126,936.45 and RM8,965.80 respectively from the total jackpot.
