A Perak retiree's decades-long habit of placing modest Toto bets finally paid off in spectacular fashion when he recently walked away with RM11.8 million from the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 draw.
The 62-year-old former salesman, who had been wagering between RM10 and RM20 per draw for roughly 30 years, secured the RM12 million jackpot after his chosen numbers, 1660 and 5093, landed the winning combination. He collected RM11,806,469.85 on 31 May.

According to the winner, the numbers that brought him the fortune came from an unlikely source: the birth certificate details of his two grandchildren.
Reflecting on the win, he said years of playing Sports Toto had never led him to expect such an outcome.
"My grandchildren have brought so much joy and happiness to our family, but I never imagined they would one day change our lives in such an extraordinary way."
The retiree described feeling stunned when he realised he had won. After repeatedly checking the results to confirm the ticket was indeed a winner, he informed his family of the life-changing news.

He said the winnings would be handled carefully, with much of the money earmarked for family support and to help safeguard his grandchildren's future.
A second winner from Kuala Lumpur, who entered the draw through the i-System, claimed the remaining RM195,148.20 from the jackpot pool.
