KUALA LUMPUR: A human resource manager in a private firm did not expect that his wife’s request to open an account with Skim Simpanan Pendidikan Nasional (SSPN-i) brought fortune after he was announced the winner of the SSPN-i 15-Year Draw, today.

Koh Yok Keong, 50, said he opened the account in September this year after being asked by his wife, Lim Pee Ping, 45, for educational financing facility for their three children aged 17, 15 and 12 years.
