KUCHING: Magnum Jackpot Gold 1 was won by a businessman in his 40’s from Kuala Lumpur on July 28. The winning number, 203130 + 03, which the lucky man purchased randomly won him a whopping RM10,216,722 in total.
The prize money is a sum of Jackpot Gold 1 prize money and the 3rd prize of RM100,000.
The man came to Magnum to claim his winnings explaining that he checked the results from Magnum 4D website at the end of the draw, found out he won and had sleepless nights thinking about his winnings.
He shared his tips, that whenever he passed by a Magnum outlet, he would check out the Jackpot amount board for the highest prize money.
Last week when he was checking the board, he found out that Jackpot Gold 1 offered the higher prize money and immediately placed his bet on the game. Voila! He is now RM10mil richer.
The winner said he will donate some to charity and planned to invest in Fixed Deposit as well.
“The money won’t change me,” he explained.
“I will still continue my usual work and take this as an opportunity to do more charity and give back to the community”
In Melaka, a factory supervisor won RM8,151,184 from Magnum 4D Jackpot on July 24. The winning numbers were 2644 (1st prize) + 1205 (3rd prize).
The numbers were a combination of his car plate number and personal favourite number.
The lucky man who played Magnum for the past 20 years is a casual 4D player and would purchase the Jackpot game whenever the Jackpot 1 amount snowballs to a higher amount.
He would occasionally spend RM50 on Magnum tickets when he felt lucky or inspired by events.
“I couldn’t believe it when I saw that I won, I kept looking at the screen when I scanned my ticket on the Magnum Mobile App. It was then that I asked my wife to recheck the ticket. Her reaction was one of complete shock. I still don’t think it’s sunk in for her.”
“This winning also made me realise that the stories I usually read about people’s winnings is true and not made up as claimed by some people.”
A Magnum representative said, “We are so thrilled and happy for the winners and we wish them all the best.”
Magnum is delighted to make three big Jackpot winners in the same month with a whopping RM51mil pay out comprising RM41 million in Jackpot and RM10 million in Jackpot Gold.
