KUCHING: The Sports Toto Supreme 6/58 jackpot is expected to exceed RM100 million today (Jan 18), marking a new all-time high.
According to reports by China Press and reported in the New Straits Times, Sports Toto Berhad Chief Executive Officer Nerine Tan said the previous record jackpot was RM97.75 million in 2022.
“The highest jackpot previously was RM97.75 million in 2022. This weekend, we believe the jackpot will surpass RM100 million,” she was quoted as saying.
She said that the increasing jackpot amount has led to a surge in ticket purchases over the past two weeks.
“With more people buying tickets, the chances of someone winning are also higher.
“This weekend, a lucky winner may claim this significant prize before Chinese New Year. Winning the jackpot could transform the winner’s life, as well as the lives of their family,” she said.
Meanwhile, as of Jan 15, the jackpot for the Sports Toto Supreme 6/58 Lotto stood at RM94.27 million, making it the second-highest jackpot in the lottery’s history.
The official Sports Toto app also revealed that part of the jackpot was partially won by a lucky individual, who claimed RM4,243,466.70 after purchasing the winning ticket at a betting outlet in Labuan.
