An Indian expat bagged the Dh20 million grand prize in the Big Ticket Abu Dhabi draw on Monday night. The expat was on night duty when the show's hosts contacted him to inform him of his huge victory. Pradeep KP, a Kerala native, works as an assistant at a Jebel Ali, Dubai car dealership. The 24-year-old had been buying tickets for a year and eventually won the grand prize with ticket number 064141. Pradeep and his 20 coworkers purchased the ticket online on September 13 and will share the winnings. According to the new multi-millionaire, he was on night duty when the draw hosts contacted him to alert him of his major win. Pradeep, who has been residing in Dubai for the past seven months, later said that he couldn't believe his luck after winning the jackpot. Pradeep stated that he has yet to make any plans on how he will spend his fortune because winning the grand prize was completely unexpected. BKM/ Expat Media
