"I don't know if it was beginner's luck or my intuition that made me a millionaire," said Mireille, a French Lebanese expat who became the 46th millionaire of Mahzooz.

The 55-year-old sales manager has lived in the UAE for two decades. She was sitting on a couch in her office when she learned of her win.

“I did not get to watch the live show. I received the call but did not believe it. I thought it was a prank call that was going on all night," said Mireille.

The lucky winner is turning 56 in just a week’s time, and considers the victory an "early birthday present."

Mirielle said she was inspired to participate after seeing the previous episode's winner radiate tranquility and contentment. “I was watching the previous episode of Mahzooz, and the lady who won gave me peace. I took the leap of faith to become a millionaire,” said Mireille, adding that she did not anticipate winning such a huge amount on her first try.

She also mentioned that she picked her numbers uniquely. “Instead of following a specific strategy or relying on analysis, I closed my eyes and selected numbers randomly by tapping the screen. This decision was life-changing for me,” said Mireille.

She has not yet decided what to do with her winnings. Having been grateful, my brother and I are already planning on donating some of this money to charity, since when you are grateful, you want to share your good fortune with others. Although we are still contemplating how to use my win wisely, we will use part of the money for small investments that we will study soon,” she said.
