In a previous draw in August, 5,579 participants won prizes, one of whom received 100,000 dirhams after matching five numbers in the Days section and the Months lucky number. Since the launch of the revised format in April 2026, the UAE Lottery has already awarded two grand prize winners: a resident of Nepal from Abu Dhabi and a 52-year-old Indian expatriate. These two men won within five weeks of each other.
During a live broadcast, the Indian expatriate Hariharan Sekar shared his experience of winning 100,000 dirhams. Hariharan, who regularly used the Botim super-app, purchased a UAE Lottery ticket through this application. After work, he checked his app and saw a pop-up congratulating him on the win. He stated that he called the customer service center to reconfirm his win. He also added that he chose the numbers based on the birth dates and months of his daughter, wife, and father.
