An Indian nurse an Abu Dhabi is now Dh20 million richer after winning the latest Big Ticket jackpot. Lovesy Mole Achamma’s ticket was drawn for the grand prize in the raffle on Saturday (June 3). Achamma works for a hospital in the UAE capital where she has lived in the last 21 years. At the time of her win, her husband was in India to help their two children enroll in university. Though her husband used to purchase Big Ticket cash prize tickets every month, Achamma says she only buys her tickets at the in-store counter at Abu Dhabi International Airport when traveling. She will be splitting the prize money with her brother-in-law and plans to donate a portion of her winnings to charity. A separate sum, she says, will be spent on her children’s higher education. The next Big Ticket draw will be held on July 3, with a jackpot of Dh15 million and a secondary prize of Dh100,000. Prior to the grand draw, weekly electronic draws will also be held throughout June with three winners to bring home Dh100,000 each per week.
