More than 300 contestants won a total of Dhs616,441 in the 48th edition of Emirates Draw, according to a Friday report from Gulf Today.
Ex-pats from Pakistan and India, such as Sajid Noushad from India and Muhammad Kamran from Pakistan, were among the winners. Each of them won Dhs77,777.
Noushad, an Indian businessman, was delighted because he did not anticipate succeeding after just two attempts. He claimed he was unable to trust it.
Noushad intends to pay off his debt and assist his staff with all of this money.
When the results were announced last Sunday, Kamran was also overjoyed as he described his winning moment.
He claimed that he, too, was in shock. He characterised himself as asking, “No way, is that my name?”
He recalled it with joy and expressed gratitude to God for his favours at the time. He claimed that only four months prior, he and his uncle had started taking part in the Emirate Draw.
In addition to helping his uncle, Kamran intends to support his family back home. He continued by saying he will make a donation to help the Paksitanis devastated by the floods.
The organisation has distributed Dhs35 million since the draw started 11 months ago. The funds have benefited over 25,000 participants.
10% of the participants can quickly win money by matching the first number from the right in one of the Draw categories, the Dhs7 reward category.
The biggest prize in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, worth Dhs100 million, can be won by someone who is fortunate enough to match all the numbers.
