Mohammad Riyazuddin, a 37-year-old Indian expatriate and electrician in Abu Dhabi, defied the odds by winning dh10,000 for the second time in just a few months from Dream Island’s Lucky 7 scratch card game.
Originally from Sheikhpura, Bihar, Mohammad has been residing in the UAE for the past 12 years. In July, he chanced upon the scratch card game, and after an initial fruitless attempt, won dh10,000 on his second try. He promptly utilized the winnings to assist his nephew in securing employment in the UAE, covering his travel and initial living expenses.
Still riding on the wave of his prior good fortune, Riyazuddin decided to try his luck once more this month, investing in a mix of Lucky 7 and Golden Goal cards. Miraculously, he struck gold again with another dh10,000 prize. “I thought I’d have a bit of fun. Winning again was unexpected,” he expressed with surprise.
As for his recent windfall, Mohammad plans to generously utilize it for his sister’s wedding preparations. He serves as an inspiring example of how unexpected fortune can be channeled to aid loved ones.
