Indian expats from Dubai, Qatar, and a Bangladeshi man from Sharjah are among the four winners of the Dh100,000 weekly e-draw held by Big Ticket in Abu Dhabi. Big Ticket will be awarding Dh100,000 to four customers weekly throughout August. Mohammad Hasan Tarek, a 33-year-old Bangladeshi in Sharjah owns a decor shop, and began trying his luck with 10 friends seven months ago, inspired by a Facebook video of a fellow Bangladeshi winner. “I will share the prize with my group and invest my portion to grow my business. I would like to express my gratitude to all the organisers of Big Ticket for changing so many lives and helping people turn their dreams into reality,” Mohammad said. Nabil Binu, a 39-year-old systems engineer and father of two from Qatar, has won the second weekly e-draw. He and 20 friends have been purchasing Big Ticket entries. “I am so happy and thankful. I will use my portion to go on holiday with my family, who are in India before school starts. For everyone out there, don’t give up. We won after 5 years, and we will not give up until we win the grand prize,” Nabil noted. Aneesh Kumar, the third winner, is a 34-year-old Dubai expat working as a consultant in cybersecurity. The Keralite has been purchasing Big Ticket entries for three years alongside four colleagues. “I am very happy to see my name on the Big Ticket website as a winner,” said Aneesh. “This prize will help me pay the down payment for my dream car BMW. I would like to advise everyone to keep on trying and don’t give up.” The fourth winner is Charan Deep Singh from India, who bought lucky ticket number 085959 on August 3 from the Big Ticket website. Throughout August, those purchasing raffle tickets are automatically entered into one of the weekly electronic draws with four winners, each receiving Dh100,000. By buying tickets before August 31, participants also have a shot at winning the Dh20 million grand prize and nine other cash prizes on September 3. Tickets are available at www.bigticket.ae or at the in-store counters at Abu Dhabi International Airport and Al Ain International Airport. MFD/Expat Media
