PETALING JAYA: A total of RM54 million Sports Toto Jackpots were won within a week by three lucky winners from Sabah, Johor and Selangor.

A 72-year-old Sabahan, a retired teacher won RM37 million Power Toto 6/55 Jackpot in the Sports Toto special draw on Oct 4.

He said he had been playing Sports Toto games for almost 30 years since he was still a young teacher.

“I won RM37,000 when I was young. I must be blessed that God gifted me RM37 million in my old age,” he told Sports Toto.

According to the winner, the winning set of numbers – 18, 20, 33, 51, 52 & 53 were derived from his mobile phone number.

“When I am free, I love to play with numbers and that was how I came out with the set of winning numbers.

“My other winning tip is that I bet in every draw. I would never miss a draw as I learned from my past experience,” he said.

The System 8 ticket he bought has not only won him a whopping RM37,181,388.25 but also an additional RM40,200, which comes up to a total of RM37,221,588.25.

The winner said he had not planned how to spend the prize money but he promised to share his newfound wealth with his children.

Meanwhile a 55-year old printing industry employee from Johor won the RM14 million Toto 4D Jackpot 1 on Oct 9.

He said he is not a frequent player and only plays Sports Toto games when the jackpot amount is high.

“I have been betting my car number and my favourite number – ‘8800 & 9577’ for six years. I am happy to have won the winning pair of 4D numbers for the Toto 4D Jackpot 1. My siblings did not believe I won the jackpot till they checked the results,” he said, adding that he will share the money with his siblings, go travelling, buy properties for investment and save the money in fixed deposit.

He bought a System 5 ticket which won him not just a whopping RM14,358,412.20 but also an additional RM1,008.

Another winner from Selangor partially won RM2,208,986.45 from the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 and an additional of RM620.40 on 9 October by buying an i-System 14 ticket, which allows a player to bet 14 sets of numbers at a cheaper cost.
