The 44-year-old lucky punter works as a supervisor for a trading company in the city state but lives in Johor.

He told STM Lottery when collecting his winnings that one's chances of winning are higher when he or she expects nothing.

"I always bet on Toto 4D Jackpot and Supreme Toto 6/58 games just for the sake of playing, and I had never expected that I could become a jackpot winner one day.

"The winning numbers — 1, 3, 9, 11, 26 and 47 are some of my favourite numbers that I often bet on.
