Four lucky Indian expatriates recently struck gold, each securing a Dh25,000 prize in the second weekly Big Ticket e-draw for August. Among the winners were Sajid Khan, a businessman who has been trying his luck for years, and Thomas Geevarghese, a civil engineer who celebrated his first win after joining a ticket-buying group. For 39-year-old nurse Manikantan Mohanan, the victory was particularly sweet, as it came on only his second attempt at entering the draw.

These winners represent a mix of seasoned participants and newcomers, all sharing in a total prize pool of Dh100,000. While some, like Khan, plan to use the funds for family holidays, others like Geevarghese and Mohanan intend to bolster their savings. As the August promotion nears its conclusion, excitement is building for the upcoming September 3rd live draw, where one fortunate individual stands to walk away with a life-changing Dh15 million.
