‘Another major win any time’: UAE Lottery says every ticket has a shot after Dh100-million win

The UAE Lottery has marked a historic milestone with its largest-ever payout of Dh100 million, awarded to a 29-year-old Abu Dhabi resident, Anilkumar Bolla. The IT professional defied odds of 1 in 8.8 million to match all seven numbers in the exact winning combination. This monumental win has not only transformed Bolla’s life but also reignited public interest in the lottery, with participation surging across the country. Scott Burton, UAE Lottery’s Commercial Gaming Director, emphasized that every draw is independent, and the odds remain unchanged regardless of previous wins. ‘We could see another major win at any time,’ he stated, highlighting the lottery’s commitment to fairness and excitement. The Dh100 million prize is a testament to the lottery’s rapid growth since its launch less than a year ago. Bolla, who plans to continue working and invest wisely, dreams of bringing his family to the UAE to share in his newfound fortune. The win has also spurred a wave of new registrations and reengaged former players, further solidifying the lottery’s popularity. With another Dh1 million winner announced in the latest draw, the UAE Lottery continues to captivate the nation with its promise of life-changing rewards.
