One lucky ticket holder became an instant multi-millionaire after winning the Dh30 million jackpot in The UAE Lottery’s Eid Al Adha draw held on Wednesday night (May 27). According to The UAE Lottery, the winning ticket matched all six numbers 4, 9, 18, 20, 22 and 24 along with Lucky Number 8 during the draw held  at 9:30pm. The jackpot winner walked away with Dh30 million, while thousands of other participants also secured smaller cash prizes across several categories. In total, 4,542 winners were recorded during Wednesday night’s draw. Three Lucky Chance IDs also secured Dh50,000 each during the draw. The winning IDs were CI5957759, DN9074079 and DC7968428. Lottery organisers said no player won the Dh5 million second prize category, which requires participants to match all six main numbers without the Lucky Number. A total of 53 participants won fourth-tier prizes worth Dh1,000 each after matching either five numbers without the Lucky Number or four numbers with the Lucky Number. Meanwhile, 4,485 players received Dh100 prizes under the fifth-tier category through various qualifying combinations. The UAE Lottery’s Lucky Day Draw is held bi-weekly and gives participants the opportunity to compete for the Dh30 million jackpot prize every week. ICA/Expat Media
