A former factory worker from Selangor, who survived an accident last year, won the Supreme Toto 6/58 jackpot on Sunday, 12 January

The 29-year-old won RM23 million in the Sports Toto jackpot, reported New Straits Times.

The unnamed winner had come to collect the winnings with his siblings today, 16 January.

Following the incident, the man was comatose for two months, reported The Borneo Post.

"After that, I was unemployed until I found a job at a factory recently but I had to quit the job because of my health condition. I believe it is God that has helped me survive all these ordeals," the man said, adding that he would start helping those who are in need with his newfound wealth.
