Abu Dhabi: A 37-year-old United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based Indian banker has won a staggering Dirham 50,000 (Rs 11,68,702) Big Ticket weekly e-draw held in Abu Dhabi.
The winner, Mustafa Mohammed, secured the prize with ticket number 451811 in draw number 275.
Residing in Dubai with his family for the past 14 years, Mohammed has been participating in Big Ticket draws for four years. Each month, he buys tickets as part of a group of six close friends.
“When I received the call, I thought it was a prank. Even now, it feels surreal — but I’m extremely grateful and happy,” he said.
While the group hasn’t yet decided how to use the prize money, Mohammed confirmed they plan to continue trying their luck. “We’ll definitely keep buying tickets and aim for the grand prize,” he added.
