Mahzooz's 108th Super Saturday draws brought joy and happiness to many participants just in time for the festive season. Twenty-two winners shared the second prize of 1,000,000, securing Dh45,454 each by matching four out of five numbers. Another 1,272 winners matched three out of five numbers and received Dh350 each. Three raffle winners with ID numbers 26756175, 26797233, and 26730317 collectively won Dh300,000 in guaranteed raffle prizes to make their festive season more memorable. Rowena from the Philippines, Kirill from Uzbekistan, and Khawar from Pakistan were the lucky winners who took home Dh100,000 each. All three winners desired to accomplish notable milestones through their substantial windfall. Rowena, a 36-year-old Filipina airport operations team leader, living in the UAE for the past ten years, got the biggest surprise of her life on Christmas Eve when she got a call from a friend informing her that her name was announced during the draw. At around 10 pm, Rowena checked the results on the website and was surprised to see her name among the winners. She started crying and couldn't sleep the entire night. She called her mother to inform her of her big win. Rowena is still coming to terms with her big win and has not yet planned what to do with her windfall. She would most certainly like to donate a portion of her winnings to charity and save the rest for her future. A 45-year-old Uzbek airline employee and food blogger, Kirill, has lived in Dubai for two decades and never imagined he would win such a large prize. Kirill was enjoying the company of his friends in the park when he received the email from Mahzooz. At first, he couldn't believe his good fortune, but when his colleagues who also participated in Mahzooz began calling to congratulate him, he realized he had won. Kirill and many of his friends believe repeated, and continued participation is the way to winning. Kirill intends to use the money to buy a new car. Khawar, a 36-year-old Pakistani expat, was watching the draw live on Saturday night when he saw his name on the screen. The expat who arrived in Dubai 6 years ago works in a very physically demanding job, loading and offloading merchandise at a private company. He is overjoyed with his new win and believes the prize is a blessing that has arrived at the right time, as he plans to use it to start a clothing business in his home country and, of course, to buy himself a new smartphone. Khawar's friends immediately created Mahzooz accounts and began participating after being inspired by his latest win.
