Former UAE expat wins Dh300,000 in Big Ticket Abu Dhabi

  DUBAI – A Qatar-based Indian man who used to live in Abu Dhabi got a big surprise from the UAE after he won Dh300,000 in Big Ticket Abu Dhabi. Shamseer Purakkal said 2022 is indeed a lucky year for him. He and his wife are also expecting their first baby this year. Following the pregnancy news, he decided to buy a ticket in his name. Purakkal said he has been buying Big Ticket since he worked in Abu Dhabi from 2017 to 2018. For his winning ticket, he chose one with two 7s, saying it has always been his lucky number. Purakkal, a stock controller in Doha, said he will be sharing the prize money with a group of friends who pooled money to buy the ticket. The 30-year-old said he will be using part of his winnings to pursue his MBA in London. He is still hoping to win the major Dh15 million prize on April 3. During the live draw, cash prizes including Dh1 million will also be given away. ICA/Expat Media
