Question

Since 1989 the Malaysian authorities have stopped issuing any new agency licenses. We have therefore stopped accepting and processing any new applications.

Question

Answer
Any person who is not forbidden by his religion and is at least 21 years of age can buy 4D tickets.

Question
Where can I buy 4D tickets?

Answer
You can buy 4D tickets at any of the 488 4D outlets located throughout Malaysia except in the states of Terengganu, Kelantan and Sabah. These outlets are operated by Magnum's appointed 4D Agents.

Question
When can I buy 4D tickets?

Answer
The operating hours of 4D Agents is as follows:

On draw days, i.e. Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, all 4D Agents open at 10am and close at 7pm.

On non-draw days, i.e. Monday, Tuesday and Friday, most 4D Agents open at 10am and close at 5pm. Some 4D agents may however choose to operate longer and close only at 7pm.

Thursday is the official rest day, as such most 4D Agents do not operate on Thursday. However, some may choose to open their outlets and they normally operate from 10am to 1pm.

Question
Up to what time can I still buy tickets for a draw?

Answer
All draws close at 7pm on their respective draw days. You can therefore purchase tickets for any given draw at any time before 7pm on the draw day.

Question
How much can I buy for each 4D number?

Answer
To limit its' exposure, Magnum imposes Big and Small limits on each 4D number. For each 4D number, these limits amount to thousands of dollars each per draw. For any 4D number, you can therefore buy as much as you wish until the imposed limits are reached. Once the imposed limits on a 4D number are reached, you can no longer buy tickets for that 4D number irrespective of which 4D outlet you go to.

Question
Can I buy tickets in advance for future draws?

Answer
Yes! Apart from buying tickets for the current draw, you can buy tickets in advance for the next 5 draws. Buying tickets in advance for future draws give you a better chance of securing the 4D numbers you want.

Question
How are draws conducted?

Answer
All draws are always conducted in full view of the public. They are conducted by Magnum officials together with members of the public who are randomly selected just before the start of the draw.

Each of the 23 winning numbers is randomly drawn using see-through electromechanical drums. These drums do not require direct human contact as they are electrically controlled and operated by electric motor.

From the start to the finish, it is the selected members of the public that actually draw each and every of the winning numbers. By pressing a remote control button when instructed by the master of ceremony, they are the ones who actually open the apertures at the base of the fast rotating drums to allow one ball to fall out from each drum, thereby drawing out the winning number.

Question
How soon can I claim my prize after the draw?

Answer

Question
Can I still claim my prize 6 months after the draw?

Answer
No! As all prizes not claimed within 6 months from the draw are submitted to the Treasury Department as unclaimed monies, the Company will therefore not entertain any claim made 6 months after the draw.

Question
Where can I claim my prize?

Answer
Prizes can be claimed either at Magnum 4D outlets or Magnum 4D state offices depending on the total prize amount of the ticket and the number of days that have lapsed since the draw. Follow the table below to determine where to claim your prize.

Important Notice: All winning tickets must be claimed within 6 months from the draw. All prizes which are not claimed within this 6-month validity period will be submitted to the Ministry of Finance.

When claiming your prizes, you must present valid winning 4D tickets. A winning ticket is considered valid and acceptable for claim only if it satisfies all of the following conditions:

• It is issued by Magnum Corporation Berhad or its' appointed agents.
• It is printed on genuine ticket stock or paper supplied by Magnum Corporation Berhad.
• All particulars on the ticket are clear and legible.
• All particulars on the ticket are identical in all aspects with those on the electronic copy recorded and kept on the Company's computer system.
• The ticket has not been altered, defaced, mutilated, torn or tampered with in any manner whatsoever.
• The ticket has not already been cancelled as per the Company's computer records.
• The ticket has not already been claimed or paid as per the Company's computer records.
• The validity of ticket has not expired i.e. it is still within 6 months from the draw when the ticket is presented for claim.
• The ticket must be able to pass all the Company's security checks.
• The above notwithstanding, the ticket must comply with and satisfy the requirements for a valid winning ticket as described under the Company's Rules and Regulations.

Question
What must I bring along to claim my prize?

Answer
You must bring along the winning ticket together with your Identity Card or passport.

Question
Can I still claim my prize if my winning ticket is torn, smeared or hardly legible?

Answer
As prizes will only be paid if the Company can validate and ascertain that tickets presented are indeed valid winning tickets, claims made with tickets that are completely illegible will therefore not be entertained. The Company will however attempt to validate torn, smeared or partly legible tickets and if it can ascertain with absolute certainty that the tickets presented are indeed valid winning tickets, it will still honour and accept those claims.

Question
Can I still claim my prize if I lose my winning ticket?

Answer
No! The gazetted rules of the 4D game state that prizes are payable to holders of valid winning tickets only. Therefore, any claims in respect of lost winning tickets will be rejected.

Question
Are prizes paid in cash or in cheque?

Answer
Prizes up to RM2,000 are paid out in cash. Prizes exceeding RM2,000 are paid out in cheque. However, our 4D Agents may sometimes make cash payments for claims exceeding RM2,000 if they have sufficient cash at their outlets.

Question
Are prizes subject to personal income tax?

Answer
