  DUBAI – Ten people, including a Briton, four Filipinos and three Indians, were among 10 winners who took home Dh100,000 each in Emirate Loto’s draw last Saturday (June 6). They matched five out of six numbers, winning them the Dh1 million second prize that was shared between all the winners, which also included a Serbian and Senegalese.

Briton Emirates Loto winner thought it was a prank

Lee Mills, a 29-year-old recruitment consultant from the UK, couldn’t believe it when he got a call from Emirates Loto: “As soon as I hung up I had to check the app to make sure it wasn’t a prank. Winning means so much especially during such an unusual time. “ “The numbers I chose all mean something to me apart from one, which of course was the one that wasn’t drawn!” said Mills, who has lived in the UAE for the past seven years. Lee plans to share his winnings with a charity he supports in the UK and his relatives. He continued: “My family at home are looking forward to Christmas this year!”

For Damian Jr Alagdon Porcare, a 44-year-old accountant from the Philippines, the winning numbers were the birthdates of his children, his wife and himself. “I have been entering raffles for years with no luck, but I never give up! I will spend the fortune on tuition fees for my four children, share the blessings with my family back home who have been greatly affected by the pandemic and save some for the future,” Porcare said. Helen Capulong Simbulan, a 42-year-old Filipina UAE resident of 15 years, also won by selecting numbers that are the birthdays of her loved ones. “I am so excited and emotional. Thanks to Emirates Loto, I can help my family back at home and finally finish building my house there!” she said. Simbulan said she wants to donate part of her winnings to charities that support those affected by the pandemic. A 41-year-old engineer, Archie Mercado, was another winner last weekend and will use his winnings for house construction. It will surely be a wonderful surprise for the family of Mercado, who is married and has two children.

New Emirates Loto winner is Senegalese

“I just shouted Alhamdulillah! I was so excited” said a 30-year-old waiter from Senegal when he found out that he too had won. The winner was on a break at work at the time, he continued: “I will keep playing until I win the Dh50 million. For now, I want to help a charity association at home in Senegal called ‘Aidons les Talibés’ (Help Homeless Youth), and also help out my brother from another mother who brought me to this country and found me a job here. He deserves it.” With no jackpot winners to date, Dh50 million is still up for grabs this coming weekend. The next live draw will take place at 9pm on Saturday (June 13).
