Selangor man wins RM14.6mil jackpot using his girlfriends MyKad number

KUALA LUMPUR: A 33-year-old project manager from Selangor has struck gold by winning the RM14.6mil Power Toto 6/55 Jackpot on July 6.

He attributed his win to a set of numbers inspired by his and his girlfriend’s MyKad numbers.

The lucky winner revealed that he had been faithfully using the same set of numbers — 4, 8, 11, 18, 20, and 29 — for the past three years, ever since he began dating his girlfriend.

“I always play Lotto games with this winning set of numbers and would buy 8 draws in advance,” STM Lottery quoted him as saying on Thursday (July 10).

He added that combining both of their MyKad numbers made the win feel “even more surreal,” highlighting the sentimental value behind the selection.

Upon seeing the results last Sunday (July,) the winner admitted to having a sleepless night before making his way to the STM Lottery head office to claim the RM14,628,701.20 prize.

He added that he kept the news to himself at first, needing time to come to terms with the fact that he had become a multi-millionaire overnight.

With the newfound wealth, he plans to focus on smart investments.

STM Lottery Sdn Bhd has confirmed the jackpot win.
