PETALING JAYA: A couple from Selangor struck it rich, winning RM23.53 million in the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 game after betting on the last four digits of their family members’ identity card numbers.
A marketing manager, 49, and her 66-year-old boyfriend had placed the numbers 6777 and 5085 as a standard RM2 bet.
The woman said that she usually buys the tickets, while her boyfriend selects and records the numbers. She typically spends RM200 to RM300 each time she visits a Toto outlet.
“We have been playing these numbers for many years and never imagined they would one day bring us such a life-changing win,” she said.
Describing the win as a timely “big ang pow” ahead of Chinese New Year, the couple said they plan to expand their business, buy a house and set aside savings for the future.
