The much-anticipated Sports Toto 6/58 jackpot that had Malaysia buzzing finally found its winners tonight.

However, there’s a catch – they won’t receive the full RM121 million that made headlines nationwide.

Due to Sport Toto’s prize calculation rules, which allocate only 65% of the betting pool plus a fixed RM8,888,888 bonus to the jackpot, the actual payout will be significantly less than the advertised RM121 million figure that had everyone dreaming big.

The situation is further complicated by multiple winning tickets splitting the prize.

The winning combination that ended weeks of nationwide anticipation? Numbers 5, 38, 39, 42, 46, and 57.

The massive advertised prize had triggered an unprecedented betting frenzy, with the “jackpot” swelling by RM15 million in just the final 24 hours before closing at a claimed RM121,732,138.98.

Even residents from gambling-prohibited states like Perlis, Kedah, and Terengganu made cross-border trips to place their bets.

The lottery fever reached such chaotic heights that a Sports Toto outlet witnessed a brawl between customers.

In one bizarre incident that perfectly captures the betting frenzy, a hopeful punter reportedly brought a live python to a betting outlet, believing the snake would bring good luck in selecting winning numbers!

The jackpot is distributed proportionally based on individual bet amounts for multiple winners.

Sports Toto headquarters in Kuala Lumpur’s Times Square atmosphere was electric as crowds gathered to witness the historic draw.

However, some might now be doing quick recalculations of their “what-if” daydreams.
