A 62-year-old retired salesman from Perak had the shock of his life after numbers inspired by his grandchildren’s birth certificates turned him into a millionaire overnight.
The lucky winner was one of two long-time Toto players who recently walked away with jackpot prizes worth more than RM15.3 million combined.
Won over RM11.8mil with just RM2
According to the statement from Sports Toto, the Perak retiree won the Toto 4D Jackpot 1 prize on May 31, 2026, taking home RM11,806,469.85 from a total jackpot prize pool of more than RM12 million.
What made the win even more meaningful was that his winning number combination, “1660 and 5093”, came from the birth certificate numbers of his two grandchildren.
The man, who had been playing Toto games for the past 30 years, said he usually spends between RM10 and RM20 on numbers for every draw.
Like many regular players, he never expected that his long-time habit would one day bring him a life-changing win.
My grandchildren have always brought so much joy and happiness to our family, but I never imagined that one day, they would change our lives in this way,” he said.
Too stunned to speak
The retiree said he was overwhelmed with emotion when he found out that he had won.
At first, he could hardly believe it and had to check the draw results several times to make sure he was not mistaken.
After confirming the win, he immediately shared the good news with his family.
When asked what he planned to do with the prize money, he said he would manage it carefully to ensure his family is taken care of, especially his grandchildren’s future.
Aside from him, another winner from Kuala Lumpur also won the remaining RM195,148.20 through the i-System play method.
Penang retiree wins nearly RM3.5mil
In a separate win, a 65-year-old retired construction worker from Penang also became an overnight millionaire after striking the Supreme Toto 6/50 Jackpot 1 prize on June 10, 2026.
He won RM3,499,722.25 using a computer-generated Lucky Pick ticket.
The Penang retiree, who is also a loyal Toto player, said he had been spending RM10 regularly on Lucky Pick tickets for many years.
For him, checking his tickets through the Sports Toto mobile app before going to bed had already become part of his daily routine.
However, that night turned out to be very different.
Woke wife up to confirm win
The man said he could not believe his eyes when he saw that his ticket had matched the winning number combination of 3, 8, 11, 25, 38 and 42.
I checked the winning number combination over and over again.
The first thing I did was wake my wife up and ask her to help confirm the ticket, because I thought my eyes might be playing tricks on me,” he said with a laugh.
The retiree said he was deeply grateful for the unexpected windfall, adding that the money would allow him and his wife to enjoy a more secure retirement.
My wife and I have discussed it carefully. We plan to place the prize money in a fixed deposit and use the interest to support our daily expenses and retirement needs,” he said.
