UAE lottery announces new winners: Here's how to check
The UAE Lottery revealed its latest winners on Saturday, March 8, during its fortnightly draw, with seven lucky participants collectively winning Dh100,000.
However, the grand jackpot of Dh100 million remains unclaimed, keeping anticipation high among hopeful participants.
The winning numbers for the jackpot were 12, 22, 18, 15, 9, 27 in the days section and 10 in the months section. While the numbers in the days section can be matched in any order, the months section number must be an exact match to secure the grand prize.
Seven winners took away a 'guaranteed' Dh100,000 with the lucky chance ID's:
AR1662719
BG3177507
BS4398470
BQ4197018
CZ7641924
BG3184461
BJ3486542
Since its launch last year, the UAE Lottery has awarded Dh100,000 each to 60 winners, but the record-breaking Dh100 million prize is still up for grabs. 'Someone in the UAE will win the Dh100 million for sure,' said Bishop Woosley, director of Lottery Operations at The Game, the entity behind the UAE Lottery.
Lottery tickets are currently available online, but the company plans to introduce new purchasing methods. Woosley previously revealed that an app would soon be launched, and vending machines may also be deployed at retail locations such as convenience stores and fuel stations.
The UAE Lottery is the country's only regulated lottery operation, offering prize amounts ranging from Dh100 to Dh100 million. Participants can also purchase scratch cards, with top prizes reaching Dh1 million.

Bride refuses to return to groom's village
A young lady has refused to return to her husband's home after spending just 10 days in his village, prompting a protest in front of the Badin Press Club by residents of Arab Sheedi village. The protesters, including the groom, Ghulam Rasool Sheedi, his mother Hajiani, and father Muhammad Hassan Sheedi, appealed to authorities for intervention, demanding the return of the bride or compensation for wedding expenses. During a press conference, Hassan stated that his son married Hina 22 days ago. Then, 10 days after the wedding, Hina's father took her back to her parental home in Murad Mallah Para, near Qazia Wah, for 10 days during Muharram, saying he would bring her back on the 11th of Muharram. However, Hassan stated that when they went to bring her back, Hina, upon her parents' instructions, refused to return. According to him, when the groom's family sought help from community elders to resolve the matter, the bride's family behaved disrespectfully, refused to send Hina back, and made threats telling the groom's family to leave and not return. Further, Hassan claimed they had spent Rs250,000 on the wedding and demanded that if Hina's family refuses to send her back, they should at least reimburse the expenses. He alleged the bride is unwilling to leave urban life to live in the village. The family called on authorities to take notice of the issue and ensure the bride is returned so their son could begin his married life.

Soaring food prices dampen traditional niyaz preparations in Hyderabad
With the advent of the holy month of Muharram, Azadari (mourning) rituals in the second biggest urban centre of Sindh are in full swing, as processions of zuljinah, alam, tazia and Jhola mark the city's religious landscape. Alongside these commemorations, the preparation and distribution of nazr and niyaz have also reached their peak. However, a steep rise in the prices of essential food items, particularly spices, meat, and firewood, has forced many community members to turn to catering services instead of preparing meals at home. Organisers of large-scale niyaz say runaway prices have made it financially unviable to cook at home. As a result, they are placing orders at local cooking centres for ready-to-serve meals to distribute among mourners. Traditionally, the first 10 days of Muharram witness the highest volume of niyaz distribution in Hyderabad, with a variety of food items, including biryani, haleem, sweets, etc, served across the city. This year, however, people are feeling the pinch. The prices of staple dishes have seen a sharp increase. The cost of a 10kg deg of chicken biryani has jumped from Rs10,000-12,000 to Rs15,000-16,000, while a beef biryani deg of the same quantity now costs between Rs20,000 and Rs22,000 — a significant rise from last year's Rs15,000-16,000. Haleem has also become more expensive. A 100kg haleem deg that used to cost around Rs17,000 is now being sold at Rs22,000 to Rs25,000 by catering services. Meanwhile, some have shifted to distributing simpler food items such as dal-roti, halwas, and channa.
