In a life-changing turn of events, a 72-year-old housewife from Penang has become Malaysia’s newest multi-millionaire after winning the Supreme Toto 6/58 jackpot worth an astonishing RM40.1 million.
The grandmother, a loyal Toto player since the 1980s, hit the jackpot on January 28, 2026, with a System 10 Lucky Pick ticket she purchased during a routine grocery shopping trip—just days ahead of Chinese New Year celebrations.
A Sleepless Night Turns Into a Dream
The winner recalled the unforgettable moment she discovered her fortune. Unable to sleep on the night of the draw, she felt compelled to check her ticket in the early hours. Matching each number—19, 29, 32, 39, 40, and 54—she realized the magnitude of her win.
“When I checked the numbers one by one and saw they all matched, I could hardly believe it,” she said. “I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep, but I am grateful and will continue living a simple life.”
Record-Breaking Windfall: RM40.29 Million
Her System 10 Lucky Pick ticket not only secured the jackpot of RM40,120,690.20 but also earned her an additional RM173,152 as a System Play bonus, bringing her total winnings to over RM40.29 million. This ranks among the largest lottery wins in recent Malaysian history, marking an extraordinary start to 2026 for the Penang grandmother.
Humble Plans Despite Massive Fortune
Despite the staggering sum, the winner and her husband remain remarkably grounded. After travelling from Penang to Kuala Lumpur to claim the prize, the couple revealed their modest plans for the windfall.
“We are thankful for this big ang pow before Chinese New Year,” her husband said. “We do not have any extravagant plans, as my wife only plays for fun. We will share some with our family and place the rest in savings and fixed deposits for long-term security.”
Their approach reflects prudence and family values, a refreshing contrast to the often extravagant stories of lottery winners.
A Lifetime of Loyalty Pays Off
The winner’s decades-long loyalty to Toto exemplifies persistence and patience. A regular player since the 1980s, she routinely visited her favourite Toto outlet on draw days while shopping for groceries. This win came after she noticed the jackpot had reached the RM40 million mark—a figure too tempting to resist.
Looking Ahead
While maintaining their simple lifestyle, the couple plans to:
- Share their good fortune with family members
- Invest wisely in savings accounts and fixed deposits
- Continue living a modest, low-key life
Their story serves as a heartwarming reminder that fortune can smile on anyone, and that true wealth lies not just in money, but in how wisely it is managed.
As Chinese New Year approaches, this Penang grandmother’s incredible win stands as the ultimate “big ang pow”—proof that patience, loyalty, and a little bit of luck can truly change everything.
