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:

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.

Fazlur Rehman's stance on child marriage bill sparks online criticism
Listen to article Maulana Fazlur Rehman's announcement to protest against the child marriage bill has sparked widespread discussion online. President Asif Ali Zardari on Friday signed the Islamabad Capital Territory Child Marriage Restraint Bill into law, setting the minimum age for marriage at 18 years. The new legislation criminalises the solemnisation of marriages where either the boy or girl is underage. In response, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday announced a nationwide protest against the government's proposed legislation aimed at restricting child marriages, arguing that the bill contradicts Islamic teachings and threatens Pakistan's religious identity. Many users criticised the move, questioning why such a stance was being taken on an issue concerning child protection. Numerous users criticised religious leaders for opposing a law aimed at protecting minors. One user remarked that these groups have never protested against child abuse but are enraged by the child marriage bill.

Several voices on social media called for organised counter-protests by the rational and progressive segments of society to stand up against the protesters opposing the bill. Photo: ScreenGrab Users argued that defending children's rights should be a non-negotiable priority and expressed strong support for the new law, highlighting that early marriage often leads to severe health, psychological, and social consequences for children, especially girls. READ MORE: Child marriages plague impoverished girls Under the new law that banned the underage marriage of boys and girls alike, violators face up to one year in prison and a fine of Rs100,000, while a man over 18 marrying an underage girl may face rigorous imprisonment of up to three years. Courts are also empowered to intervene and protect the identities of those reporting such cases. Despite the bill's clear intent to safeguard children from exploitation, it has faced fierce opposition from religious political parties and the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) . The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) strongly criticised the CII for raising objections to the recently passed Islamabad Capital Territory Child Marriage Restraint Bill, calling the move a serious attempt to hinder vital child protection legislation. READ MORE: CII takes exception to child marriage bill Speaking at a press conference in Peshawar, Fazl claimed the proposed law is being influenced by foreign agendas. 'Pakistan's identity is Islam, and that identity is under threat,' he said, warning that the bill undermines the country's core values. Fazl accused the government of drafting the legislation based on demands from international bodies like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the United Nations (UN), rather than adhering to Islamic principles. 'The UN's stance is being used to pass laws against early-age marriages. The President is also refusing to sign the religious seminaries bill,' he added. The JUI-F leader criticised the proposed law as violating the Quran and Sunnah, asserting that such moves weaken democratic processes and inadvertently strengthen extremist narratives. 'Democracy is losing its case, and such actions are empowering the narratives of armed groups,' Fazl warned.

Eight cattle markets approved for Pindi
Rawalpindi divisional administration has approved eight designated cattle markets across the district ahead of Eidul Azha, while imposing a strict ban on animal sales along roads and in unauthorized locations. In a move to ensure hygiene and safety, only certified healthy animals will be allowed for sale. The sale of sick or weak animals has been outlawed, and vendors found violating the directive will face legal action and confiscation of livestock. Traders from South Punjab have complained about excessive entry fees being forcibly collected at the main Bhata Chowk market. According to traders, contractors are charging Rs7,000 per large animal instead of the official Rs3,000, and Rs6,000 per small animal instead of Rs2,000. Despite the high transportation costs from 600 kilometres away, sellers say they are left with no option but to comply, pushing up the overall cost of sacrificial animals. Contractor representatives responded by saying they are recovering the costs of winning a high-value contract. Rawalpindi Commissioner Aamir Khattak has also ordered that all cattle markets must be equipped with disinfectants, regular spraying, and fire brigade presence for emergencies. Traffic police have been directed to implement traffic management plans around the markets. According to official circulars, three cattle markets have been set up in Tehsil Rawalpindi: the main Bhata Chowk market in Rawalpindi Cantt, another near Koh-e-Noor Mill, and one in Mouza Ranyal near Fatima Jinnah University Campus on Chakri Road. Additional markets will operate at Kallar Syedan Road, near Mankiala Bridge, Gulyana Road, near the slaughterhouse in Tehsil Gujar Khan, Sharif Hospital Stop, GT Road, and Timber Market Road in Tehsil Taxila, Mangal Bypass in Tehsil Kallar Syedan, and Chan Shah Jaliar, Tangi Road in Tehsil Kahuta. Commissioner Khattak has instructed all concerned authorities to ensure proper sanitation, facilities, and traffic control in all markets.

World Book Day passes quietly in twin cities
Students browse through a wide range of Urdu fiction and non-fiction titles looking for their next summer read at a stall at the Spring Festival held in NUML, Islamabad. PHOTO: ONLINE While World Book Day was observed globally on April 23, the twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad marked the occasion with silence, as no events or activities were held to promote reading. The day, which originated in Spain in 1616 and was officially declared "World Book Day" by UNESCO's General Council in 1995, aims to foster a love for reading and honour authors who produce quality literature. However, the reading culture in the region continues to decline sharply. According to the Urdu Bazaar Booksellers Union in Rawalpindi, readership across genresincluding religious, historical, political, humorous, educational, and fictionhas dwindled significantly. Where once dozens of readers would visit daily, only a handful now show up, with many browsing without buying. The union attributes this decline to the growing dominance of religious, political, and humorous content on social media, which has replaced traditional reading habits. Another major factor is the rising cost of paper, which has made books increasingly expensive. According to the union, it is now rare to find a well-regarded book priced under Rs2,000. Due to this trend, many booksellers in Urdu Bazaar have shifted their business focus to selling textbooks, notebooks, and stationery. Although major vendors still stock religious, historical, and political literature, sales have dropped to negligible levels. In the past, Rawalpindi's Saddar area used to see vibrant book stalls set up every Sunday outside shuttered shops, where people of all ages would browse through piles of books laid out on footpaths. These stalls, once a bustling attraction, have now disappeared. Until the 1990s, more than half of Saddar's sidewalks were occupied by booksellers. What was once a profitable business has nearly vanished due to a lack of buyers. From 1947 to 2000, Rawalpindi had 13 libraries located along Murree Road, Saddar, Liaquat Bagh, and Saidpur Road. Today, only two public libraries remain: the Municipal Library and the Cantonment Board Library.
