KUCHING: Two Sarawakian friends who teamed up to play the Magnum 4D Jackpot have struck it big, winning a life-changing RM15.46 million by sharing a single System Play-10 ticket, a decision they made on a whim when the jackpot amount became too tempting to ignore.
According to a statement, their lucky break came from a jointly purchased System Play-10 ticket, a strategy the friends used sparingly, only playing when the Jackpot soared to exciting heights.
“We usually only play when we see the Jackpot is high.
“Sharing the cost makes it more manageable and still gives us the thrill,” one of them explained.
They each contributed five numbers, not lucky picks, birthdates, or car plates, but purely instinctive choices.
It was a partnership built on trust and a shared philosophy of responsible play.
“We’ve always believed that if you play, play within your means.
“Pooling funds keeps it fun, affordable, and no one overspends,” they said.
The winning moment was nothing short of electrifying; while watching the live draw separately, both noticed two of their numbers had appeared in the Special Prize category.
Then came the game-changer: one of their numbers appeared as the 3rd prize, followed immediately by another number clinching 1st prize.
“We both just shouted over the phone! It felt surreal.
“We replayed the results over and over again. Neither of us could sleep for days,” one of them recounted.
Now, with their winnings, both friends are planning long-awaited overseas holidays with their spouses, especially meaningful since it will be a first-time trip abroad for some of them.
One of the winners also said that he now has the confidence and means to buy a home, a long-time dream finally within reach.
Their story stands as a reminder that sometimes, friendship, instinct, and responsible play can lead to life-changing moments.
Magnum 4D congratulates the winners and continues to encourage Malaysians to play wisely and within their limits.
As this story shows, incredible things can happen when you share the joy, and the luck.
