The second winner, a 43-year-old housewife, won the RM6.17 million Toto 4D Jackpot 1 on Dec 25 with her pair of winning numbers 6885 and 6889.

She said both winning numbers were derived from her daughters’ car registration numbers.

The third winner, a 55-year-old businessman, won the RM3.55 million Toto 4D Jackpot 1 on Dec 29 with his pair of winning numbers 5867 and 1995.
