An ordinary day in an Indian expatriate’s life changed the course of his life when he won the UAE Lottery’s biggest jackpot of Dh30 million for a single person when he discovered that he won the world’s biggest prize in Abu Dhabi and the ultimate prize.
The winner couldn’t believe this and admitted he had to check his ticket twice before accepting it.
According to lottery officials, the winner was shocked when he first saw the winning numbers; they told us his shock at seeing the winning numbers was as well.
His first reaction was, “He was so shocked to confirm that there must be some sort of mistake, so he went back and re-read the results again and again and finally realized that he had got the top multi-millionaire status in the UAE’s new multi-millionaires.
In the final moments, he'd look at me again and realized he had won, he remembered, and at that moment, it was really real.
The Dh30 million jackpot is among the biggest prizes given by the UAE Lottery and can change a person’s life right away in the winner’s wallet.
Most people dream of winning the jackpot, but very few can ever achieve this rare stroke of luck for the first time.
The Indian expatriate has been living and working in Abu Dhabi for several years. Like many of his fellow residents in the UAE, he frequently took part in a lottery drawing, and never knew that one day his numbers would be the same as the jackpot combinations.
The prize money would also enable him to secure his family’s future and achieve long-term goals, he said.
“I don’t want to give a very public picture of what the money will do to me, but I’m very excited because of the opportunities.”
We congratulate lottery officials and say the jackpot shows us that we can dream and dreams can come true for everyone, and we need to be responsible as well, because lottery games are only played on chance.
