“I live in Singapore but I do ask my uncle, who lives in Johor to buy the Lotto numbers for me.
“I will give some money to my uncle to buy some numbers for me when I visit him in Malaysia. I do not bet regularly and the winning set of numbers (19, 20, 23, 50, 53, 54) is my favourite numbers which I bought for 4 years,” she told Sports Toto.
