Abu Dhabi’s renowned Big Ticket raffle has unveiled a substantial Dh15 million grand prize for its February promotion, setting the stage for another life-changing win following January’s record Dh30 million award to a Filipino expatriate. The live draw event scheduled for March 3 will crown one fortunate millionaire while simultaneously distributing five consolation prizes of Dh100,000 each.
The February calendar features an expanded reward structure with four weekly electronic draws, each granting Dh50,000 to four separate winners. This month’s promotion introduces the innovative Big Win Contest, offering customers who purchase multiple tickets between February 1-24 the opportunity to attend the live draw with guaranteed cash prizes ranging from Dh50,000 to Dh150,000.
January’s finale witnessed four Indian nationals claiming Dh50,000 each in the final weekly e-draw. Among them, Hakkim Sha Habeeb expressed initial disbelief upon missing the winning notification, later describing his overwhelming delight upon confirmation.
Vinoth, a 38-year-old electrical supervisor with 19 years in Qatar, celebrated his first-ever raffle victory after three years of consistent participation. “This represents the happiest moment of my life,” he shared, noting his plans to divide the winnings among his group while investing further in tickets and creating special memories for his daughter.
Abdul Rahuman, a 54-year-old Kerala native residing in Abu Dhabi for six years, initially suspected a scam before experiencing profound relief and happiness. His participation through a 22-member group exemplifies the collective approach many adopt for sustained motivation.
Shalini Suvarna, a Mumbai-born administrative professional in Umm Al Quwain since 2008, resumed ticket purchases last year after a hiatus. Her win will facilitate debt clearance while restoring confidence in the process. “Consistency matters profoundly,” she advised, reflecting on her interrupted participation pattern.
The Big Ticket initiative continues to demonstrate its legitimacy through transparent processes and verifiable outcomes, strengthening participant trust across the UAE expatriate community.
