Businessman, workshop owner win over RM6m Magnum jackpot

MAGNUM’S Jackpot first prize of RM3.9 million was won on Sunday by a middle-aged businessman from Kuala Lumpur. The lucky numbers that brought him the huge fortune were 1051 (first prize) and 2188 (third prize). He placed RM30 on the number combination which was inspired by his family’s car plate numbers.

The winner was thrilled by the windfall when he and his wife found out they had won.

“My wife and I couldn’t believe it, and we scanned our tickets multiple times just to make sure we had really won. Her reaction was a complete shock. Life comes with unexpected surprises from every corner, you will never know what’s going to happen next and you may be the next winner,” he said.

On what he would do with the winnings, he said he would use it to sustain his business, take care of his employees and pay for his children’s studies.

Another winner was a car accessories workshop owner who spent RM2 on a Lucky Pick ticket that brought him RM2,327,972 in winnings. The combination was 1983 (first prize) and 9438 (second prize).

“I usually buy almost every draw before the restrictions took place, but this time around when Magnum reopened, I decided to try my luck on a Lucky Pick ticket,” he said, adding that he would use his winnings to settle his house loan.

A Magnum representative said: “What a happy surprise to have two jackpot winners consecutively in the first one and a half weeks after we resumed our business. With the winnings, it will definitely bring a huge change for our winners to live life their way especially during these difficult times.”
