Sports Toto Jackpot Set To Exceed RM100 Mil, Could Create Centimillionaire This Weekend
The jackpot prize money is set to reach a new all-time high this weekend.
Sports Toto may produce a centimillionaire as the prize for its Supreme 6/58 jackpot is set to exceed RM100 million this Saturday, 18 January, marking a new all-time high
Speaking to China Press, Sports Toto Berhad chief executive office Nerine Tan said the previous jackpot record was RM97.75 million, set in 2022.
She revealed that the rising jackpot has led to a surge in ticket sales since last month, with one recent draw attracting about three million tickets, which she said is rare.
"With more people buying tickets, the chances of someone winning are also higher.
"A lucky winner may claim this significant prize this weekend before Chinese New Year. Winning the jackpot could transform the winner's life, as well as the lives of their family," said Tan.
She humorously shared that many of her friends asked how to win the current jackpot, to which she could only reply that she didn't know either
"I don't know either. So I always tell them that I would be in Europe and not here if I knew," said Tan, who is also the daughter of Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan.
She suggested punters purchase via the EZ-Bet system to generate random numbers, admitting that she also places bets using this method.
On Wednesday, 15 January, the Sports Toto Supreme 6/58 jackpot hit RM94.27 million, making it the second-highest jackpot in the company's history.
According to the official Sports Toto app, a lucky punter "partially won" the jackpot, claiming RM4,243,466.70 of the substantial prize.
The winning ticket was purchased at a betting outlet in Labuan, reported China Press.
