PRESS RELEASE<br />

20 JANUARY 2012<br />

<strong>RM57</strong> MILLION SUPREME TOTO 6/<strong>58</strong> JACKPOT WIN SETS NEW RECORD IN MALAYSIA<br />

A 70-something retiree from Selangor won a supremely huge jackpot of <strong>RM57</strong> million<br />

through <strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Toto</strong> 6/<strong>58</strong> on Wednesday, 18 January 2012.<br />

<strong>Supreme</strong> <strong>Toto</strong> 6/<strong>58</strong> jackpot was won twice at slightly below RM48 million each. Now, it<br />

has not only broken its own jackpot winning record, but also created a new record for<br />

jackpot winnings in Malaysia.<br />

The retiree’s winning set of numbers – 2, 12, 24, 25, 32 & 33 was the brainchild of his own<br />

diligent studies of all the numbers that have been drawn before. He said, during his<br />

leisure time, he likes to study the trend of all the numbers that have been drawn and<br />

then create combinations of lucky numbers to bet. He also told that he has been<br />

spending moderate sums on numbers game as a pastime.<br />

He said, he tried hard to calm himself upon learning that he has won the supremely huge<br />

jackpot from a daily at noon a day after the draw. He quipped that he had to do that as<br />

it was too huge a shock that could even trigger heart attack! He then quickly shared the<br />

good news with one of his children who happened to date him for lunch, before<br />

breaking the news to all his other children.<br />

Asked about his feelings after winning the colossal jackpot, he said it was certainly a<br />

great Chinese New Year gift and he would dedicate most of his newfound fortune for his<br />

grandchildren’s future education needs. As for himself, he doesn’t seem to have any big<br />

plans yet, except for saying that he would also like to help many critically ill or<br />

desperately needy people featured through the press as well as some hardcore poor<br />

families featured through the Helping Hands program aired on NTV7 which he chanced<br />

to watch.<br />

This massive jackpot win happened within days after the <strong>Toto</strong> 4D <strong>Jackpot</strong> 1 of RM 7.1<br />

million was won by a 40-something Sabahan on 15 January.<br />

On the sidelines, the second prize of <strong>Toto</strong> 4D <strong>Jackpot</strong> totaling RM171,042 was won on the<br />

same draw.<br />
