Five expatriates living in the UAE, hailing from India and Bangladesh, are celebrating after securing a total of Dh500,000 in the latest Big Ticket Series 290 draw. Each winner took home Dh100,000, a welcome surprise that has brought joy to participants like Suresh Kumar, a 19-year Ras Al Khaimah resident, and Mohammed Rafiqul Islam Ahmed Meah Talukder, who has worked in Dubai for 17 years. For many, including freelance technician Sandeep Kumar and Shiblin Sarfraz, the win serves as a rewarding milestone after years of participating in the draws.

The winners shared how the sudden windfall has prompted them to reflect on their futures and their families back home. While some, like Suresh Kumar, prefer to wait until the funds are officially in their accounts before making big plans, others like Rafiqul expressed deep gratitude, noting how the prize provides a sense of relief and happiness while working far from their loved ones. As the excitement settles, these winners are already planning to continue trying their luck, especially with Big Ticket set to announce a massive Dh20 million Grand Prize in the upcoming October draw.
