A massive payout of RM11 million from Sports Toto has turned four brothers into instant millionaires
New Straits Times said the siblings, aged between 40 and 50, were announced as winners through the Sports Toto 4D Jackpot on 28 July. They collected their winnings at the company's headquarters recently.
The eldest brother revealed that the winning pair of numbers were not special as they bought a Lucky Pick System 3 ticket
"When we see that the jackpot amount is quite high, we will start pooling our money to buy numbers and this has been a practice among us for many years.
"We used to buy our car registration numbers but one of us insisted that since we were going to try our luck why not trying a Lucky Pick ticket and that’s how we won the jackpot," he said.
The System 3 system lets punters bet on three sets of numbers in a ticket.
When asked how they would spend their winnings, the eldest brother said they will use it to pay off debts and buy a new house
"We never thought about winning and becoming millionaires but now we believe that the jackpots are actually won by real people.
"We will split the winnings, pay off our debts and perhaps buy a bigger house for our own family," he told the English daily.
