The 50-year-old woman had hit the jackpot by betting RM4, betting on two sets of numbers.

“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) are my favourite numbers which I have bought for four years,” she told Sports Toto when she claimed her winnings a week later at the Sports Toto head office in Kuala Lumpur.

She said the same uncle had informed her of the win after the draw.

She intended to reward him for buying the ticket for her. She will also use the prize money to pay for her children’s education.

Various individuals have won the snowballing RM56 million Sports Toto jackpots since Christmas eve.

Five winners walked away with the RM10.4 million Toto 4D Jackpot 2 on Dec 24; four winners shared the RM1.4 million Toto 4D Jackpot 2 on Jan 7; and six winners shared the RM9.5 million Toto 4D Jackpot 2 on Jan 8.

The Power Toto (6/55) also created two millionaires recently. A punter from Sarawak won RM6.7 million on Dec 24 and another in Selangor won RM3.5 million on Jan 4.
