Dubai Tailor Hits Life-Changing 20 Million AED Jackpot
In a story highlighting extraordinary fortune and perseverance, two Bangladeshi expatriates in the UAE have become the latest major winners in the popular Big Ticket Abu Dhabi live draw lottery. The most remarkable tale belongs to Sabuj Mia Amir Hossain Dewan, a Dubai resident whose very first lottery ticket purchase transformed his life overnight, securing the staggering jackpot prize of 20 million UAE dirhams (approximately $5.44 million USD).
Mr. Dewan, who has lived and worked in Dubai for 18 years supporting his family back in Bangladesh through his profession as a tailor, described the win as a complete shock. He recounted that his decision to participate was spontaneous, inspired by conversations with friends about the lottery. Purchasing his ticket at a store in Abu Dhabi, he never anticipated the outcome. Overwhelmed with emotion, Dewan admitted the monumental win promises to completely reshape his family’s future. While still processing the life-altering news, he stated he needs time to consult with his loved ones before making any concrete decisions about utilizing his newfound wealth.
Sharing the spotlight is Parvez Hossain Anwar Hossain, a resident of Sharjah whose dedication to the Big Ticket lottery finally yielded a significant reward. Demonstrating remarkable persistence, Mr. Hossain made a monthly journey from Sharjah to Abu Dhabi specifically to purchase his lottery tickets. This unwavering commitment was rewarded when he won a brand-new Range Rover Velar. Expressing immense satisfaction, Hossain credited his years of perseverance for the win. Although undecided on whether to keep the luxury SUV, he plans to discuss the matter with his family. His experience has only strengthened his belief in trying his luck, and he openly encourages others to participate in the Big Ticket draws, stating he will continue playing himself.
These wins come amid a significant promotional push by Big Ticket. A major campaign launched in August offers participants the chance to win a grand prize of 15 million dirhams, with the super prize draw scheduled for September 3rd. The same September 3rd draw will also award six additional prizes of 100,000 dirhams each. Furthermore, the lottery is running a special incentive: participants buying two or more tickets in a single transaction between August 1st and 25th gain entry into a separate final draw. This draw guarantees cash prizes ranging from 50,000 to 150,000 dirhams for several lucky winners.
Adding to the allure, the current promotion also features two luxury vehicle draws. A BMW M440i and another Range Rover Velar are up for grabs, with the winners of these coveted cars set to be announced on October 3rd. Tickets for these exciting draws are readily available for purchase online or at physical points of sale located at Zayed International Airport and Al Ain Airport. The stories of Sabuj Mia Amir Hossain Dewan and Parvez Hossain Anwar Hossain serve as powerful testaments to the life-changing potential these draws hold, captivating the imagination of residents and visitors across the Emirates.
