The recent second weekly e-draw for September by Big Ticket has brought joy to four lucky participants from India, Bangladesh, and Nepal, each walking away with a prize of Dh25,000. These winners, who have spent years working in the UAE, largely credit their success to the practice of pooling resources with friends to purchase tickets. For many, this win serves as a vital financial boost that will support their families back home, fund personal aspirations like starting new businesses, and provide a sense of optimism as the competition heads toward its massive Dh20 million Grand Prize draw on October 3.

Among the winners, the spirit of giving has truly shone through. While participants like Md Mostakinsha Billah and Khum Bahadur Rana plan to use their shares to build a more secure future for their families, others are focused on altruism. Notably, Jaswinder Singh, a long-term Sharjah resident, has already pledged to donate a portion of his winnings to charity. He believes that regardless of the amount, contributing to the community is a responsibility that comes with good fortune. This collective success has not only strengthened the bonds between these groups of friends but has also reinforced their commitment to keep participating in hopes of securing even bigger wins in the future.
