Four Indian expats are celebrating after securing a Dh25,000 prize each in the latest weekly Big Ticket e-draw. For some, the victory was a long-awaited surprise, while for others, it felt like destiny. Abubakker Siddik, a construction professional based in Saudi Arabia, was shocked to win after deciding to buy a ticket in his own name for the first time, breaking his usual tradition of pooling with colleagues. Meanwhile, Naresh Tangalapelli from Hyderabad shared that he had a strong intuition about winning the moment he saw a UAE country code pop up on his phone.

The winners plan to use their newfound winnings in various ways, from settling personal debts to treating their families to special trips. Kamaludeen Anvarsha, a business owner from Kerala living in Oman, intends to use his share to clear outstanding financial obligations. With the excitement of the weekly draws behind them, participants are now setting their sights on the massive Dh20 million grand prize scheduled for August 3. As the raffle continues to offer everything from cash windfalls to luxury vehicles, hopeful contestants are already gearing up for the upcoming weekly draws throughout July.
