CNY came early for a 60-year-old woman when she recently won a whopping RM63.9 million in a Sports Toto jackpot
News Straits Times reported that the woman had won the jackpot on 6 February 2018.
Her winning numbers were 18, 21, 26, 27, 48, and 52.
After collecting her winnings at Sports Toto's headquarters, she told reporters that the win was a "big angpow" for her
"As CNY is just around the corner, many customers who came to my shop greeted me with a lot of good wishes. With the feel-good wishes, I decided to use some small notes in my drawer and asked my son to buy Sports Toto tickets just to try my luck," she said.
Her son then went to the nearest Sports Toto outlet and purchased some "CNY Lucky Pick angpows", currently on sale just for the festive season.
Both mother and son did not check the results until they overheard people discussing the jackpot at the coffee shop
"I quickly went to the outlet to validate the tickets and I could not believe my eyes when I saw that the CheckWin machine actually displayed the whopping RM63,913,531.20.
Hence, I checked my phone again to confirm the result and I quickly ran home to tell my mother the good news," said the son.
She is still figuring out how to spend the winnings.
