KUCHING: A thirty-something female executive from Kuala Lumpur became the latest Toto millionaire when she hit the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 of RM27 million.

According to a press release from Sports Toto Malaysia, she is also one of the youngest Toto millionaires who walked away with over RM25 million.

Claiming her prize money alone at the Sports Toto’s head office, she came across as cool and calm.

When asked as to why she was not accompanied like most jackpot winners were, she said she could handle it without the need to disrupt the schedules of her husband and other family members.

Her winning pair of numbers “5757 and 1113” was part of a series of 4D numbers she has in mind whenever she feels like playing number games.

Those numbers originated from her licences, car plates, dates of meaningful occasions as well as her own concoction.

She found out her massive jackpot win from Sports Toto’s website on the winning draw evening itself.

Being a jackpot hopeful for no less than five years, she said she was dumbfounded in an instant.

She considered herself an accidental jackpot winner as she has been just an occasional bettor of moderate sums.

“On the winning draw, I actually played System 10 instead of my usual System 6 without any particular reason. Guess that was a prompting from Lady Luck!” she said with a smile.

Playing Toto 4D Jackpot System 10 with 10 sets of 4D numbers, she got 45 pairs of 4D numbers, in other words, 45 winning chances. Also a result of playing System 10, she won an extra RM2,688 from 16 sets of the third prize.

Upon receiving her cheque, this lucky winner was just composed and did not seem to let the 8-figure prize money come to her head at all.

She quipped that the new-found fortune would be more than enough to fulfill a long wish list which included her children’s education needs as top of the list, followed by pampering gifts for herself, a sports car and branded accessories, keeping half of the fortune for retirement at the age of 45.
