The United Arab Emirates witnessed the final lottery event of 2025 this Saturday evening, marking the conclusion of the year’s gaming calendar with the 29th Lucky Day Draw (No. 251227). This weekly tradition, which has undergone significant structural modifications recently, continues to captivate participants nationwide despite adjustments to its reward system.
The announced winning combination for December 27th’s draw consisted of six day numbers (1, 6, 7, 27, 28, 29) paired with month number 9. While no participant secured the ultimate jackpot requiring perfect matching of all seven digits, three fortunate individuals achieved substantial wins of Dh100,000 each through the Lucky Chance mechanism. Their identifying codes were revealed as BZ5085484, CI5970515, and DT9633495.
Notably, the grand prize structure has been substantially reconfigured, with the top jackpot now standing at Dh30 million—a significant reduction from the previous Dh100 million benchmark. The secondary prize remains substantial at Dh5 million, followed by tiered rewards of Dh100,000, Dh1,000, and Dh100 for subsequent achievement levels.
The event produced numerous additional winners, including 32 recipients of Dh1,000 prizes and 9,323 participants who claimed Dh100 rewards. During the live broadcast, previous winner Mohamed Selim Ayadi, a Tunisian expatriate, shared his experience of playing for over a year before securing his Dh100,000 prize. Another long-term resident, Binu Sreedharan, expressed intentions to invest his winnings into entrepreneurial ventures after thirteen years residing in the UAE.
The UAE Lottery system has dramatically expanded from its initial single-draw format to now encompass twenty distinct gaming experiences. This diversified portfolio includes daily predictive games like Pick 3 and Pick 4, alongside various scratch cards and electronic instant-win options. Friday’s preceding draws already produced winners in these categories, with multiple participants claiming prizes ranging from Dh850 to Dh25,000 depending on their matching accuracy.
