PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA: Combining numbers from his car registration, his child's birth certificate and two of his own lucky numbers made a businessman almost RM10mil (S$4.1mil) richer.

The 40-year-old from Kuala Lumpur was also the first person to win the Magnum 4D Jackpot 1st Prize which paid RM9,702,223.

The Magnum 4D Jackpot game was launched on Sept 23 and the jackpot prize amounts has increased rapidly due to overwhelming interest from players.

A Magnum 4D representative said it was the company's way of rewarding loyal players and followers.

"Those thinking that a person has to spend a massive amount of money to win big need look no further than our Jackpot 1st prize winner, who only placed a bet of RM12 to win," the representative said.

The 4D Jackpot costs RM2 per bet line (one pair of 4D numbers) to play.

The Jackpot First Prize pays out a minimum of RM2mil up front plus 55% of the Prize Pool.

The Jackpot Second Prize pays out a minimum of RM100,000 up front plus 10% of the Prize Pool.
