'Lucky' monkey draws punters to Sarawak

Thousands of people - some from as far as Singapore - have been converging in Jakar, Sarawak, after news went viral that many have struck it rich in 4-D lottery, thanks to a monkey called Anong (Not in the picture), reported Malaysia's The Star.

The town, about an hour's drive from Sibu, is especially packed on weekends and during 4-D draw days.

A resident named Mr Lau said there could be as many as 1,000 people trying to get close to the monkey.

He said: "The monkey was in fact spotted by passers-by some months ago. People stopped by to give it food to eat. They tried their luck at 4-D betting after the monkey climbed onto the roof of their car and most of them became instantly rich."

Then about two weeks ago, the news went viral on social media.
