PETALING JAYA - A hawker struck the Magnum's 4D Jackpot first prize of RM8.4mil(S$3.4 million) after betting on numbers from his daughter's new passport.
Both the winning sets of numbers of 2232 (second prize) and 6675 (third prize) were from the passport that the man had renewed with his daughter.
The hawker won the jackpot on a straight bet of only RM2.
"This is wonderful! I never thought that with just RM2, I could become a millionaire overnight. I was so surprised when I saw my numbers emerge as the top three prize," said the man, who is in his mid-40s and from Selangor.
He said he would now stop working and use the money to care for his parents on a full-time basis and "give them whatever they want".
"This is the time to give my parents their heart's desires for all their sacrifices not just for me, but for my family too," he said.
The hawker said he had been a loyal Magnum customer for over 20 years and had won several times, adding that he would only spend up to RM10 for each draw because he had to be careful with his expenses.
"This win has changed not only my life, but my whole family's life, too," he said.
In a statement, Magnum said the man, who had been playing the 4D Jackpot game since it was launched in September 2009, won the money for the draw on Aug 18.
