The 53-year-old winner, who owns a trading company, revealed that he was not a regular player but he decided to try his luck by buying RM200 worth of Lucky Pick tickets at the Toto outlet next to the restaurant where he had his dinner.
“I felt like trying my luck just before the Toto outlet closed at 7pm. The sales lady was so happy because I bought 100 Lucky Pick tickets worth RM200.
“And I actually spent my entire night checking the tickets one by one against the draw result. It was a funny yet exciting experience.
“The winning ticket, which consists of winning numbers – 3, 8, 20, 38, 50 & 56, was actually among the last few tickets that I was checking, I simply could not believe that I have won the jackpot,” he said.

“I dreamed about my son who called me with the old house phone number ending 0814 and when I woke up in the morning, the time was showing 0708. So, I had decided to bet on these two numbers with other numbers in a System 5 ticket worth RM20.
