A property consultant won the Da Ma Cai 1+3D Jackpot while on holiday in the historical city of Melaka with his family.
The winner quoted, "When we returned to our hometown, my wife and I were totally awestruck when we saw our numbers won the RM13.8 million Jackpot on Da Ma Cai website. That was totally unbelievable.”
The winner in his forties recalled that while in Melaka, he saw an accident whereby the number plates of both the cars dropped off. He combined the numbers of the two cars to form the 1+3D Jackpot numbers. He boxed one of the combinations “1661” and paired them with the straight number “6442”. He told the Da Ma Cai spokesperson that it’s his wildest dream that both the car numbers would give him such windfall.
While waiting to collect his winnings, the winner found out that Da Ma Cai is a not-for-profit organization whereby all its profits are channeled towards vernacular schools through The Community Chest. He immediately donated RM20,000 of his winnings in support of The Community Chest’s funds. The man mentioned that he came from a vernacular school in a rural area and he understands that schools in these areas needed funding assistance.
On how to spend his winnings, the winner said that as a property consultant, he will most likely purchase a new property for investment. The winner also said, “It’s a very big prize I have now. There are so many things in my mind, and I am happy that I can contribute to The Community Chest in support of education.”
