KUANTAN: In the past six months, a 40-year-old man earned RM1.2 million a month selling illegal four-digit numbers.

However, his glory days ended last Sunday when police raided his brother-in-law's house in Inderapura here and arrested him at 5.45pm.

It is learnt that the man from Tamah Putih, stayed there to hide his illegal activity from the authorities.

Police seized RM15,000, two fax machines, 361 betting slips, handphones and other equipment used for the activity.
