Kuala Lumpur: A Selangor property manager struck RM14.8 million in the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 draw on May 6 after betting on the same pair of numbers linked to his old cars for more than 10 years.
The 52-year-old winner placed a System 3 bet with a RM6 stake using the numbers 9186 and 4828, which eventually appeared in the same draw.

According to STM Lottery, he won RM14,818,901.35 together with a system play bonus of RM336.
“I have been betting on these numbers for over 10 years because they remind me of my old cars and the memories attached to them,” he said in a statement.
“I never expected both numbers would strike in the same draw,” he added.
The man said he used to wonder whether jackpot success stories were genuine until he experienced the win himself.
STM Lottery said the winner planned to buy a branded car and invest in properties while managing the prize money carefully for long-term financial security, while the remaining RM1,975,853.50 from the RM16.8 million jackpot pool was won by a Kuala Lumpur player through the i-System method.
