Thursday September 30, 2010Businessman wins largest ever jackpot of RM48milPETALING JAYA: A businessman has won RM47.82mil – the largest ever lottery jackpot in Malaysia.Sports Toto Malaysia Sdn Bhd said the previous highest jackpot of RM20.9mil was paid out in December 2008.The winner, a businessman in his 50s, learnt of his win from the Sports Toto website on Tuesday night after the draw results were announced.“He couldn’t believe his eyes and was dumbfounded for several seconds before getting his wife to verify his win repeatedly,” a Sports Toto spokesman said in a statement yesterday.The spokesman said the couple was so happy they did not sleep and couldn’t wait to claim the prize money from the Sports Toto headquarters in Kuala Lumpur.The businessman claimed that he has been an ardent follower of Supreme Toto 6/58 since the game was launched on March 20.He regularly bet RM20 on the game which gave him 10 chances of striking the jackpot.His winning set of numbers – 8, 11, 19, 22, 54 and 55 – were derived from a random computerised selection.“The couple said they would not only use the money for themselves but would also channel some of it to charitable organisations.“They want to help people around them, especially their siblings who are financially unstable, and people who are in desperate need of financial assistance,” the spokesman said.Last month, Sports Toto also paid out two huge jackpot winnings totalling RM17.55mil.
