Big Sweep Rules

Big Sweep is a sweepstake type of game. It means that players buy a pre-printed ticket instead of choosing their lucky numbers. Each drawing comes with seven million pre-printed tickets and a single ticket costs three ringgits.

Drawings take place once every three weeks. The game provides two opportunities to win – one through the main draw and one through the Scratch & Match portion of the ticket.

Each ticket comes with a unique seven-digit pre-printed number. The number is in the range from 1000000 to 7999999. There’s also a jackpot number in the range from zero to nine. Each drawing comes with a total of 23,030 prizes, including the Big Sweep jackpot.

Scratch & Match prizes are available instantaneously. All that players have to do is scratch off the respective portion of the ticket to reveal a three-digit number and the image of a car. There are more than 1.195 million instant Big Sweep prizes to claim.

Each seven-digit winning ticket is entitled to a single prize. If it qualifies for more than one, the player will receive the higher prize.

If you’re wondering where to buy Big Sweep Malaysia tickets, the answer is simple. The pre-printed tickets are available at all authorized retail venues. More information about the locations throughout Malaysia is available on the official Big Sweep website.

There’s no specific way when it comes to how to choose Big Sweep tickets. You may want to take a look at the batch available at the respective venue and identify a ticket that features a lucky number or two. It’s challenging to be strategic about the selection of your Big Sweep entry because you’re not in charge of creating the seven-digit number or the jackpot number.

To buy Big Sweep tickets in Malaysia, you have to be non-Muslim and over the age of 21. If you are a foreigner who is legally residing in the territory of the country, you are free to test your luck. Keep in mind, however, that Big Sweep tickets are not available for purchase online. Anyone who is not in Malaysia will be deprived of an opportunity to get a ticket.

Big Sweep Prizes

Big Sweep’s jackpot has a minimum guaranteed amount of 500,000 ringgits. If there’s no winner for the respective drawing, the sum will roll over towards the next one. Thus, Big Sweep in Malaysia can produce some pretty spectacular jackpots.

To claim the jackpot, a player will have to match the seven-digit number and the jackpot number for the respective drawing.

Here’s a breakdown of the various prize tiers and what it would take to claim each:

Prize Tier Numbers to Match Estimated Prize (RM)

The major prizes for the scratch-off portion of the ticket include a top prize of 50,000 ringgits, the second prize of 10,000 ringgits and the third prize of 1,000 ringgits. Multiple tickets are featuring each one of these bigger prizes, and there are also smaller sums to win. The Bonus Prize in the scratch-off portion of the ticket is a new Honda HR-V (including the road tax and insurance for the first year of use).

As already mentioned, jackpots will accumulate if there are no winners for the respective drawing. This is when the jackpot gets to surpass the first and the second prizes.
