Residents of the United Arab Emirates are once again eagerly awaiting the draw, which takes place twice a week and offers the chance to win 30 million dirhams. The UAE Lottery has announced the winning numbers, divided into 'Days' and 'Month' sections: in 'Days' they are 12, 11, 1, 16, 10, and 25, and in 'Month' it is 3.
Furthermore, the UAE Lottery gives residents a guaranteed chance to win 50,000 dirhams if they have a 'Lucky Chance ID'. This ID is automatically assigned to every purchased ticket and consists of two capital letters followed by seven digits. Examples of such IDs include AT1832467, AQ1527355, and AT1853726.
Nepali expat Tayab Khan, 26 years old and working as a security guard in the Ruwais industrial zone in Abu Dhabi, became the first lucky resident to win 30 million dirhams. Khan moved to the UAE from Nepal four years ago in search of better opportunities. In early 2024, while browsing Facebook, he came across the UAE Lottery and suggested to his friends to participate together. After the group matched the winning numbers in May, the jackpot was split equally among five friends, with each receiving 6 million dirhams.
Indian expat Sunil Kumar Sadasivan, a 52-year-old resident of Kerala, won the jackpot in July, just over a month after Tayab's victory. At the age of just 18, he left home with hope and dedicated most of his youth to helping his six sisters with their marriages and settling down before thinking about his own future, as previously reported by Khaleej Times. Now, having received the prize, he wishes to be present in 'every small moment' with his partner, who has always been there, and his daughter. Sunil purchased the UAE Lottery ticket using the birth dates of his daughter, wife, and himself.
