On Saturday (October 29, 2022) Mahzooz, the most popular weekly draw in the UAE, welcomed new raffle draw winners as part of its centennial draw, including two expats from Bangladesh. Mahzooz, which has created 29 multimillionaires over the past two years, saw in its 100th draw as many as 38 people sharing the second prize of Dh1,000,000, winning Dh26,316 each after matching four out of five numbers. Besides the other 1,608 winners who earned Dh350 each as the third prize, two expats from Bangladesh won Dh100,000 each in the weekly raffle draw. Mahzooz has experienced a considerable increase in engagement among Bangladeshi expats since the draw's inception. With close to 3000 winners awarded collectively over Dh4 million, Bangladesh had the fifth-highest participation rate in Mahzooz. As a result, it is not surprising that the two Bangladeshi expats who each won Dh100,000 in the 100th raffle draw will be able to enjoy their enormous win during the India-Bangladesh T20 cricket match. Shirajul, a 33-year-old Bangladeshi delivery worker who had previously resided briefly in the UAE from 2008 to 2011, has recently relocated from Qatar to Fujairah. "Considering that I have only participated in Mahzooz a total of 10 times, I was shocked to learn that I had won. I lost my job due to the pandemic two years ago, so I faced many financial constraints. I am sure this windfall will significantly improve my life". Shirajul, overjoyed to have won something for the first time in his life, declares, "I'll use this money to travel to Nepal and the Maldives with my family." Shirajul believes that because there have been many winners, participants' trust in Mahzooz is increasing daily. Presenting himself as proof, Shirajul undoubtedly encourages his relatives and friends to take part in the weekly draw. Rajibul, a 38-year-old mechanical engineer living in the UAE for the past 14 years, had begun to lose hope of winning, as he had participated numerous times in the draw. Until he received the email from Mahzooz informing him of his significant win, he learned that patience is a virtue. Rajibul immediately logged into his Mahzooz account and saw he was rewarded with Dh100,000. "I've been participating in Mahzooz regularly, and I was starting to lose faith, but I was pleasantly delighted when I received the great news from Mahzooz. My efforts have finally paid off", he commented. To participate in Mahzooz, participants must register at www.mahzooz.ae and purchase a bottle of water for Dh35. Participants are eligible for one-line entry into the Mahzooz grand draw for the top prize of Dh20,000,000 (for a limited period), the second prize of Dh1,000,000, or the third prize of Dh350 for each bottle purchased. They will also be automatically entered into the weekly raffle draw; three lucky winners will each receive Dh100,000. PR/ Expat Media
