Two expats win Dh250,000 each in latest Big Ticket weekly draw

Two expatriates have struck gold in the latest Big Ticket weekly draw, each taking home a cash prize of Dh250,000. The February e-Draw series continues to make dreams come true, with two lucky winners announced every week.

This week’s fortunate winners are Ramesh Dhanapalan, a 49-year-old forklift operator from Oman, and Rashid Puzhakara, a 36-year-old salesman based in Saudi Arabia. Both hail from Kerala, India, and have been trying their luck with Big Ticket for years.

For Ramesh, the win is not just personal but a victory for the 54 friends he shares his ticket purchases with. As part of two groups of 27, he has consistently pooled resources to buy tickets every month for six years. Overwhelmed with joy upon receiving the news, he remains committed to the dream and encourages others to keep trying.

Rashid, on the other hand, has only been participating in Big Ticket for six months. He is part of a group of 20 friends who joined forces in hopes of winning. Now, their persistence has paid off. Elated by the victory, Rashid emphasized the joy of sharing the prize among his group, making it a collective celebration.

As anticipation builds, the excitement is far from over. One ticket holder will soon walk away with the grand prize of Dh20 million. Meanwhile, those purchasing two or more tickets in a single transaction by February 23 will gain entry into the Big Win Contest, with four lucky winners to be announced on March 1. Additionally, on March 3, participants will get a shot at the prize wheel, securing guaranteed cash rewards between Dh20,000 and Dh150,000.

For car enthusiasts, Big Ticket’s February promotion offers a chance to win a luxury vehicle. The Maserati Grecale draw is scheduled for April 3, while the Range Rover Velar draw will take place on March 3.

The next weekly e-Draws will be held on February 20 and March 1, keeping the excitement alive for hopeful participants.
