PETALING JAYA: A 50-year-old Singaporean won RM24.3 million when her winning set of numbers hit the Supreme Toto 6/58 jackpot on Jan 4.

Claiming her winnings a week later at the Sports Toto head office in Kuala Lumpur, the housewife said that her uncle informed her that she had won following the draw.

“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.
