A Malaysian working in Singapore became an overnight millionaire after winning a RM31.9 million Sports Toto jackpot on 14 September
According to Sin Chew Daily, the 44-year-old lucky punter from Johor works as a supervisor for a trading company in the city state, and commutes there every day.
When he visited the Sports Toto headquarters to collect his winnings a few days ago, he said that one's chances of winning are higher when he or she expects nothing.
"I always bet on Toto 4D Jackpot and Supreme Toto 6/58 games just for the sake of playing, and I had never expected that I could become a jackpot winner one day," he said, as quoted by New Straits Times.
The man won the lottery with a bet on his favourite numbers in Bukit Indah Garden, Johor Bahru
"The winning numbers – 1, 3, 9, 11, 26, and 47 – are some of my favourite numbers that I often bet on," he told Sports Toto.
"My wife and I are thrilled that our dream has come true. Although it is true that I can retire early now, I will not allow myself to take it easy, I will continue to work in Singapore," he added.
While continuing to work, the winner said he would use the windfall to pay off his housing loan, donate to charity, buy some properties, and set up an education fund for his children
He had bought a System 8 ticket in the Supreme Toto 6/58 lottery on the draw day of 14 September, which won him exactly RM31,949,992.85, and an additional RM83,856 as a bonus from the bet.
