The UAE Lottery marks its first anniversary with significant operational expansions and substantial prize distributions exceeding Dh147 million to more than 100,000 participants. Operator The Game LLC confirmed on Thursday the introduction of enhanced gaming experiences and revised reward mechanisms as the program enters its second year.
Scott Burton, Commercial Gaming Director at The UAE Lottery, emphasized the platform’s successful inaugural year: “Our first year demonstrated the extraordinary excitement and rewards The UAE Lottery generates, with remarkable winning stories emerging from players nationwide.”
From initial modest beginnings with a single draw, the lottery framework has expanded to incorporate 20 distinct gaming formats. The portfolio now features the flagship Lucky Day Draw alongside daily numerical games including Pick 3, Pick 4, and Color Prediction, supplemented by an extensive assortment of scratch cards and digital instant-win games. The operator highlighted that scratch card games alone have distributed five top-tier prizes of Dh1 million each.
Future developments will focus on new game introductions, upgraded digital functionalities, and reimagined prize architectures. These enhancements will reinforce the organization’s dedication to equitable gaming practices, participant security, and technological innovation.
A notable transition occurs this Saturday (November 29) with the final opportunity to win the current Dh100 million jackpot before revised prize tiers become effective. The Lucky Day draw operates bi-weekly with entry priced at Dh50, requiring participants to select seven numbers for prizes ranging from Dh100 to the maximum jackpot. Eligibility remains restricted to UAE residents aged 18 years and above.
