A 40-year-old punter scooped the top prize from September 13th Grand Toto 6/63 jackpot. To win the title, the winner spent RM50 for 25 sets of Lucky Pick numbers for only one draw. He decided to take a detour on the way to his Wednesday’s dinner. He was stuck in a traffic jam when he made the decision.

“I began playing Sports Toto games four years ago, but I only bet on my car plate numbers and I had not won anything. It was my first time playing the Lotto game, and brought an RM50 Lucky Pick on Grand Toto 6/63,” he said.

The winning man suddenly came to know that a punter from Penang had hit the jackpot. He explored a ticket matching the last two numbers of the result; i.e., 52 and 53. It made him pretty sure that he had won. He then requested his younger brother to check rest of the numbers. Being excited, the RM69,637,527.25 winner started running around the house. He plans to donate a small portion of his winnings to charitable causes, invest in property, and pay off his loans.
