“What does it sound like to win Dh100 million?” The UAE Lottery has just given the country its answer — and the winner’s emotional outburst is going viral. In a short teaser posted on Thursday night (October 23), the UAE Lottery released the phone call recording of its latest Dh100 million Grand Prize winner, captured moments after the life-changing draw on October 18. The recording begins calmly. “Hello,” says the winner softly. “Hi! This is Shah from the UAE Lottery,” the representative responds. “Good evening,” the man replies — unaware of the bombshell about to drop. Then comes the life-changing announcement: “You are our lucky jackpot winner of Dh100 million.” A pause follows — and then a euphoric, disbelieving scream: “Oh my God!” The UAE Lottery captioned its teaser: “What does it sound like to win AED100,000,000? Stay tuned — the reveal is coming soon.”

Full reveal on Monday

According to insiders, the lottery will officially reveal the winner’s identity on Monday, marking the conclusion of a week-long guessing game that gripped the nation. The operator had previously confirmed the winner’s partial name as Anilkum* B*** — in line with its privacy policy — prompting speculation that the winner may be an Indian expat from Kerala, a community known for its strong presence in the UAE. The historic Dh100 million jackpot, the biggest in UAE history, was won by matching all seven numbers — 7, 10, 11, 18, 25, 29 (Days set) and 11 (Months set) — during the 23rd “Lucky Day” draw. In an official statement, the UAE Lottery described it as a “historic moment for the country’s entertainment and gaming landscape.” Since the draw, online speculation has skyrocketed, with millions eagerly awaiting Monday’s big reveal — and the chance to see the face behind the now-famous scream.
