KUALA LUMPUR - A technician in his 30s, who works in the Klang Valley, has won RM11.66 million (S$5 million) in his first attempt at the Power Toto 6/55 lotto game on Aug 25 with the numbers 12, 16, 28, 39, 40 and 47.

Although he regularly plays various Toto games, the winner's lucky try on Power Toto 6/55 was his first, said Toto in a media statement.

When he realised that he had the winning set of numbers, the technician called his mother to share the good news and had to take sleeping pills on the night of the draw.

He went with a friend to claim his winnings at the Sports Toto's head office here. The man seemed to have gotten over the shock of winning a multi-million jackpot and seemed unfazed about managing his new-found fortune.

He said that he has always invested in shares and unit trust funds and would now buy properties besides purchasing a house for himself and each of his family members.

The latest record winnings came less than two weeks after a RM5.89 million jackpot was won.

On Aug 14, a security officer from Johor won the money in the Mega Toto 6/52 lotto game through a set of numbers derived from observing number plates of moving vehicles or boats which he records as a pastime.

The latest win means that Toto jackpots have paid a total of RM17.55 million to two winners in less than two weeks.
 
now, let's see how long that money would last.

usually, easy money come. easy money go.
 
He is investing in unit trusts, shares and properties. So bulk of it will be quite safe.
 
I will NEVER tell anyone, not even my wife, if I strike toto. People are full of expectations and suspicions. My wife might not expect too much from me but I cannot travel alone in future leow. She would want to keep an eye on me. keke
 
First mistake:telling his mom
Second,even bigger mistake: tell his friend. Even brought friend to collect
 
the transparency abroad for lottery winners is quite liberal. at least people know that the winners are genuine. unlike singaporepools, stating only number of winners & winning outlet. for all we know, they could just be phantom winners, to minimize the winnings for legit winners.
