The loyal Big Ticket customer says he has been buying tickets every month for the past five years and was shocked to learn of his big win. When asked what he planned to do with his winnings he said, “I’m not sure yet because I really did not expect this to happen. I’m still shocked, and will need to take some time to think about my options.”
The grand prize winner, who purchased his winning ticket with a group of 30 people, will be splitting the prize money evenly.
During live draw, ten lucky winners of Indian, Palestinian, Lebanese, and Saudi Arabian nationalities were also announced, each of them taking home cash prizes worth a total of Dhs100,000.
