“I was the only person who still bet on the numbers persistently even after my late uncle’s funeral which was held few months ago, it must be a farewell gift from my beloved uncle.

Meanwhile, another winner from Johor, a 66-year-old retiree said his pair of winning numbers 1777 and 2323 derived from his house number and his favourite number.
