The Big Ticket draw with hosts Richard and Bouchra.

Nur Miah Shamshu Miah, a Bangladeshi expat living in Al Ain, has become the latest millionaire in the UAE after winning the Dh15 million grand prize in the recent Big Ticket raffle draw. The winning ticket, number 201918, was purchased at Al Ain Airport, securing Miah a place among the UAE’s newest multimillionaires during the live draw held on September 3. The emotional moment unfolded when Miah received a phone call from the draw's hosts, Richard and Bouchra, informing him of his life-changing win. Overwhelmed with joy, Miah, who has called Al Ain home for the past 18 years, could barely express his excitement. “I am very happy about my win. Two of my friends are already celebrating with me now,” said the 40-year-old father of three. Miah, who works hard to support his family, has shared that his immediate priority is to renew his visa. He also plans to share part of his winnings with his friends, who have stood by him throughout his journey. “I will think about what to do with the rest of the prize, but my advice to everyone is to believe in God and be patient; one day, you will win,” Miah added. Miah's win was not the only prize awarded that day. Ten other participants won Dh100,000 each during the live event. Special guest Tushar Deshkar, the grand prize winner from the previous month, had the honor of picking Miah’s winning ticket, adding an extra layer of significance to the day’s event. The Big Ticket raffle draw continues to be one of the most anticipated events in the UAE, with life-changing prizes up for grabs every month. The excitement builds as October's draw approaches, offering a guaranteed grand prize of Dh20 million. In addition to the massive top prize, the draw will also see ten lucky participants win Dh100,000 each, along with one fortunate winner driving away in a brand-new Maserati Ghibli, valued at Dh400,000. There are also opportunities for participants to enter weekly electronic draws, where three winners can claim Dh100,000 each, excitement around the Big Ticket is at an all-time high. The next draw, set for October 3, promises to keep the winning streak alive, giving participants more reasons to dream big. ICA/Expat Media
