The largest share of the jackpot was won by a 77-year-old medical practitioner from Pahang who secured a whopping RM23.3 million.
Purchasing a System 7 ticket in Bentong, Pahang, on July 24, the winner chose a series of numbers based on his wife’s car registration and a random selection.
“I chose the pair of winning numbers (9938 and 8388) which looked like each other and sounded lucky. When the numbers looked and sounded lucky, they actually brought you fortune!” he said in a statement released by Sports Toto Malaysia.
With the grand prize, the winner planned to support his children’s business ventures and ensure their comfortable livelihood.
