    The day when the odds of winning RM1 million is not 13 million to one

    January 12th, 2007

    …but a mere 600,000 to one.

    The odds of winning Sports Toto’s Super Toto (6/49) whose minimum prize is RM1 million is 13 million to 1. Meaning, you’re more likely to be struck by lightning than winning it. Does that also mean that if you do win it, you have to be careful, because according to the rules of karma, you’re more likely to be struck by lighting from now on???

    That’s what happened to Malaysia’s latest millionaire (http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2007/1/12/nation/16550175&sec=nation), Abdul Razak Mat, 53 of Kelantan who was the RM1 million grand prize winner of a contest that was part of a programme held from May to November last year as part of TM’s customer reward programme to update TM’s customer database.

    Apparently only 600,000 entry forms were received.

    Yes, I did participate, but didnt win anything.

    In fact, I have some money in BSN’s SSP program but only won RM100 so far, after having participated for many years.
