In the 273rd series of the Big Ticket draw, four lucky participants won a total of AED 390,000 — a reminder that sometimes, luck strikes when you least expect it.
The top prize winner, Sheikh Nassib Sh. Baba Sahib, a 48-year-old homemaker who has lived in the UAE for the past 38 years, took home AED 110,000. She has been buying Big Ticket entries every month for the past three years. With the help of her daughter-in-law, who assists with the online process, she selects the numbers herself. She says the prize will go toward buying a car and that she plans to keep trying for the grand prize.
Suhail Ahmed, a 35-year-old brand promoter from Karnataka, India, living in Dubai, won AED 100,000. He mentioned he was asleep when the winning call came through. “I usually keep my phone on silent in the mornings, but luckily, it was on that day.” He plans to spend part of the money on a car and a gift for his wife.
Shofiul Azam, a 65-year-old Bangladeshi painter and long-time Abu Dhabi resident, won AED 80,000. For the past three years, he and his brother and close friends have purchased Big Ticket entries together. He initially suspected the winning call was a scam, but later realized it was real. He plans to split the prize with his group and use the rest to renovate his family home.
Shaiju Karayat, a 42-year-old sales executive from Kerala, India, has lived in Dubai since 2010. Alongside a group of 10 friends, he has been consistently buying tickets for the past decade. This time, the group won AED 100,000 — their first big win. He says the prize still doesn’t feel real and that he’ll continue participating in future draws.
