Biggest lucky number payout in Malaysian history
In Malaysia, when it comes to betting on lucky numbers, there are several legal options eg, via SportsToto, Lotto88, Magnum or Sabah Turf Club (STC).
The current winnings record is apparently RM20 million, by a “40-year-old food vendor in Petaling Jaya”, who struck it big at Sports Toto’s Mega TOTO 6/52 in October 2008.
Before that it was RM19 + million, won by a Johor family of eight regular punters; they had jointly bet on SportsToto’s Mega Toto 6/52, and turned out winners at draw 2948/08 on 5th January 2008.
But that is surely going to be broken very soon: the prize is ripe for the taking. As at the time of writing (28th August 2010), the amount on offer is RM38+ million; this would surely be prove to be too much of a temptation even for non gamblers to at least purchase a lucky pick.
Whoever wins that kind of money would be forgiven even if s/he kept a stash of snow sleds in his/her home in the tropics; after all, s/he could go skiing every weekend for all one cares.
