A Singaporean expatriate residing in Dubai has secured a Dh1 million prize in the weekly e-draw organized by Big Ticket Abu Dhabi.

M. Rao, who has been a resident since 2013 and occasionally purchased tickets since 2019, expressed his happiness and gratitude upon being informed about his win by Big Ticket representatives. Rao's stroke of luck came through a complimentary ticket obtained as part of a limited-period promotional offer from December 8 to 10.

"I purchased my tickets on December 9 after I saw an ad on Instagram about the special offer: Buy 2, Get 2. That’s what convinced me to buy my tickets this month, and to my surprise, one of my free tickets was the winning ticket," Rao shared.

When asked about his plans for the prize money, he mentioned, "I don’t really have a plan yet, as I haven’t thought of it. I will make sure to spend my prize wisely. I have two children, and I will use part of my winning for their education."

Throughout the current month, individuals purchasing tickets have the opportunity to win Dh20 million in the upcoming live draw. Additionally, customers are automatically entered into the weekly electronic draw, where one fortunate winner will receive Dh1 million.

Rao advised others, stating, "My advice to everyone is to try your luck with Big Ticket, and it will happen for you. Big Ticket is real and guaranteed. That's what makes it special and different from other games."

Tickets can be acquired online through the official website of Big Ticket or by visiting in-store counters at Abu Dhabi International Airport and Al Ain Airport.
