Throughout the month of January, Big Ticket Abu Dhabi’s guaranteed weekly e-draw gave customers the chance to walk away with 1 KG of 24 carat gold every week.

Among the lucky winners are Indian, a resident of Sharjah and a Bangladeshi national, who resides in Abu Dhabi.

Biju George, an Indian national who won January’s third 1KG of 24 carat gold weekly e-draw prize, has been a resident of Sharjah for the past three years and currently works as a technical engineer.

The lucky Big Ticket customer has been purchasing raffle tickets on his own for the past seven years, in hopes that one day he will receive the winning phone call.

He told representatives that he will continue to try his luck with Big Ticket and remains hopeful that he will one day become the grand prize winner.

The final 1KG of 24 carat gold winner for January is Mohammed Alamgir, a Bangladeshi national residing in Abu Dhabi since 2008.

The fourth weekly e-draw winner pooled money with two of his friends to buy his winning raffle ticket just three days before the end of the month.

When Big Ticket’s representatives asked him what he plans to do with his winnings, he admitted that he hadn’t yet decided as he didn’t expect to win but would now take some time to carefully consider his options.

At the upcoming March live draw, one lucky winner will win Dhs15 million with Big Ticket.

A second prize amount of Dhs1 million will also be announced, as well as a third prize amount of Dhs100,000 and fourth prize amount of Dhs50,000.

Big Ticket customers will also be automatically entered into the weekly electronic draw and stand a chance to be one of three winners to walk away with Dhs100k every week.
