Issue in Jmeter Regular expression

I am trying to extract a substring from the below mentioned html tag,but i cannot extract the substring.

<input type="checkbox" name="checked" tabindex="true" value="28744628*Postpaid" onclick="disSelectCheckBox();">

from the above tags i want to extract the substring 28744628,and for this i am trying the following regular expressions:

1)<input type="checkbox" name="checked" tabindex="true" value="(.+?)*Postpaid" onclick="disSelectCheckBox();"

--> if i use this expression no value is being retreived.

2)<input type="checkbox" name="checked" tabindex="true" value="(.+?)" onclick="disSelectCheckBox();"

--> if i use this expression the whole string(28744628*Postpaid) is extracted,where as i want only the substring(28744628).

Can you provide any inputs??

value="(.+?)\*Postpaid
            ^

Escape your *.It is a quantifier.It means 0 or more times.(.+?)* in effect gives no ouput as +?* forms catastrophic backtracking.And your regex might be unable to complete.

See demo.
