Sarfaraz Sheikh – AED 75,000 Winner A businessman in his 60s from Pakistan, who has been living in Dubai with his wife for over 20 years, has been purchasing Big Ticket entries on and off for the past five years. 'When I found out I had won, it was an incredible feeling, something truly exciting and unexpected. Not knowing the exact prize amount right away only added to the thrill. I plan to use part of the prize to enjoy a vacation with my wife and treat ourselves, while also setting aside a portion for a meaningful cause. Although I'm not a regular buyer, I definitely see myself participating in Big Ticket again.' Noriel Bonifacio – AED 110,000 Winner A 50-year-old plant attendant from the Philippines, who has been living in Dubai for the past 15 years while his family remains back home, has been purchasing Big Ticket entries every month with a group of 10 friends. 'I can't express how I'm feeling right now. I've been trying my luck for the past 10 years, and the day has finally come. The prize will be shared among our group, and with my portion, I plan to support my family and contribute to my children's education. I will continue buying Big Ticket for as long as I'm in the UAE, and I encourage others to participate, you never know when luck might be on your side.' Sajeev G.R. – AED 130,000 Winner A 43-year-old designer from Kerala, who has been living in Bahrain for the past 18 years while his family remains in India, has been purchasing Big Ticket entries every month for the last four years with a group of 13 friends. 'Receiving the winning call was an incredibly joyful moment. Not just for me, but for our entire group, this win belongs to all of us and our families. We've decided to divide the prize equally among ourselves. I'll continue participating in Big Ticket and hope to win an even bigger prize in the future. My advice to others is to give Big Ticket a try, it might just be your turn next.' Abooty Thaya Kandoth – AED 80,000 Winner A 54-year-old Sales Supervisor from Kerala, who has been living in Dubai with his family for the past 33 years, began purchasing Big Ticket entries nearly a decade ago. Since then, he has been regularly buying tickets on his own. 'When I received the winning call, I was overwhelmed with happiness—what's not to be happy about? After 10 years of trying, luck finally struck, and I still can't believe it. I plan to use the prize money to take my family on a well-deserved vacation. I'm already preparing to purchase another ticket before the end of the month to make the most of the bundle offer. My advice to everyone is to keep trying, you never know when it might be your turn.'
